[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 744829, member: 4152"] I say it’s possible we get too tired or lazy or emotional to make the tough decisions. Brutal or ruthless decisions.These words sound funny, but oddly, they are accurate. Best to make them immediately. If not immediately, then soon Sometimes, when cleaning my closet I will actually say to myself “Nomad, you know you must be BRUTAL! This closet is overstuffed. You bought two new shirts and some shoes. And probably some other things have snuck in here!” Then I go into drill Sageant mode in my head. “Nomad. Get tough. I want three items removed from this closet permanently and gone from this house now!” Then I start looking and I think oh no...I love everything. Then I say “Time to be brutal.” Each item is carefully examined and though about. One time I could only come up with two. I made myself a deal. I went into my closet with heavy winter clothes on another room and gave two items from that closet away. So , it totaled four instead of three. The strict drill sargeant was happy. I was brutal. It sounds a bit crazy...but it works. For me, chanting these words help. It ain’t easy. I do what I must. [/QUOTE]
