“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.”
– Lao Tzu
I moved to Portugal with just two suitcases and a carry-on. As I furnish my new home I think carefully about each and every item before I buy it.
I want this new home to be uncluttered, to bring me joy, to be a sanctuary from the busy world outside my door.
I’m doing the same thing with the thoughts I allow to live inside my head. I want an uncluttered mind. I want to allow joy to visit everyday. And I want the home within myself to have glass walls so I can see out and others can easily look in, with unlocked doors that are kept wide open.
