Struggling With Abundant Stuff? Deliver It Away!

By Daniel Carlson


Every person I know has a home full of many things. Go into your bedroom and look in your wardrobe. I'm certain that you don't wear all of the clothing you see (although congratulations if you do). And I am similarly certain that you do not really need all ten pairs of similar black dress shoes. Or take a glance at your recreation gear in the garage. When is the last time you actually used those cross-country skis? There is a solution - a wonderful solution - to downsize your life and do something excellent for your community at the exact same time. Give to charity. There are a variety of appropriate setups who would be glad to take your excess possessions of your hands.

Deciding to give to charity is a good way to accomplish many good things all at the same time. Clearly, giving to charity is a good way to help individuals in need. You'll have many additional pairs of pants, it is quite likely that many folk in your city struggle to afford owning more than 1 or 2 pairs right now. You could be surprised if you knew all the common, each day wants people live with each day. Out of your excess you can help the increase the standard of life for others. What a wonderful thing to be part of.

Giving to charity is not just great for people that receive the things, it is also great for those who give. That is right. Giving will fast become something that you treasure. Nothing feels better than practicing munificence, and you'll quickly notice that you will have a look for paths to simplify your life so as to bless others. Giving to charity will also give you the chance to simplify your overcomplicated life. As years go by people have a tendency to gather more things than they can use at once. Just cast your mind back to when you first moved into your present home or house. Remember how you did not have enough to fill your closets and pantries? Look at those self same closets and pantries now and I bet you'll find that they're overflowing. Can you remember where those glasses came from? Who gave you that wool sweater again?

But how does one decide what to give to charity and what to keep? I'm going to give you a few practical tips. With clothing, if you haven't worn it at all thru the last 2 years, chances are high that you will not need to wear it again. Household items can be a tiny harder to separate, but a good rule of thumb is that if you can't remember the last time you used it, you most likely do not want it. Just begin going through your things and decide as you go. If you're in doubt about an item, ask yourself these questions: do I really need it? Will I actually use this? Is there somebody else who could use this item more than me?

Giving to charity is a superb way to simplify your home, learn how to see the requirements of others and meet them all simultaneously. Why not take a quick walk through your house and consider giving some of your things to charity today.
