2020-11-22 Get rid of what isn’t necessary 丢掉不必要的东西

“Go into your closet. Take all of your shirts and hang them all so they’re all facing the same direction. When you’re done wearing one, hang it up so it’s facing the other direction so you have a ‘worn’ camp and an ‘unworn’ camp. After 90 days, grab all of your unworn shirts, and give them to someone who will wear them.”

My mom told me about the exercise above. When it comes to simplifying my closet, it’s been a godsend. Every single piece of clothing I own serves a purpose. After some time, if I discover that something isn’t being of use, I get rid of it.

I’ve reached that stage in my life where I want my life as clean as my closet.
I want my life to be lightweight.

I want to be surrounded by people that fuel me and spend my time on activities that light me up.

Having a clean closet reminds me of this. It serves as a reminder — much like my friend’s question that kicked off this article — that some things aren’t worth holding on to. We only have a certain amount of space in our lives. Chooses to hold on to things that add value to your life.

“走到你的衣柜。把你所有的T恤拿出来，并且让它们朝向一个相同的方向。当你穿了其中一件后，再把它挂回去但要朝向另外一个方向，这样你就有了两个阵营：穿过和没穿过。90天后，把你没穿过的T恤，给哪些想要穿他们的人吧。”

我妈妈告诉我上面这个锻炼。当我想要精简我的衣柜时，这个是天赐之物。我拥有的每件衣服都有自己的目的。过段时间，当我发现一些并不可用时，我就会扔掉它。

我也意识到在人生舞台上我也希望人生可以和衣柜一样干净。我希望人生可以是轻便的。

我希望身边都是能激励我的人，同时自己花费的时间都在可以让我提升的活动上。

拥有一个干净的衣柜对我的提醒就是这些。这就像一个提醒器，很像我朋友提出的问题，那些事情不值得坚持。我们的生活只有有限的空间，选择坚持那些对我们人生增加价值的事情。
