#3 I had a two-car garage that was full of stuff. I was a hypocrite because I was complaining on my blog about how consumerism was ruining people’s lives, while all of my possessions were overrunning my home.

#1

In San Diego, near the ocean, it’s never bitterly cold or oppressively hot. I can appreciate the realities of the nonsublime weather in certain areas of the country, but in San Diego, it’s always heavenly weather.

#2

I had spent the weekend cleaning and tidying up, but my closet didn’t seem to belong to a person who claimed to live a thrifty life. My panic began to mature into worry.

#3

I had a two-car garage that was full of stuff. I was a hypocrite because I was complaining on my blog about how consumerism was ruining people’s lives, while all of my possessions were overrunning my home.

#4

I had to admit that I had a problem. I was telling people to avoid consumerism, but I was still participating in it myself. I realized that my desire to live a meaningful life was being forestalled by the petty demands of my stuff.

#5

I was a person living a half-truth. I believed that material possessions would overwhelm my life and keep me from meaningful pursuits unless I did something about it, but I had not actually done much by way of a response. I was looking at a person with ideas but without much action.

#6

The impulse to expand is a common trait among entrepreneurs and consumers. However, when is it acceptable to slow down or stop acquiring new things. Most business owners would say there’s never a time to slow down or stop growing.

#7

I began to think about the expectations of the consumer in American-style consumerism, and how those expectations are constantly being met. The expectation is to buy and buy and buy some more. But neither the shopper nor the entrepreneur ever quits striving for that satisfaction.

#8

I had to quit my full-time job to start my own company, ChristianAudio, which turned out to be a successful publisher of audiobooks in the Christian market. It was difficult to make money running my own business, and I often had to sell things to pay bills.

#9

The 100 Thing Challenge forced me to consider how owning too much stuff was affecting my life. I asked myself how working too much was affecting me, and whether I was working harder but getting less out of life.

#10

As ChristianAudio grew, I began to think not only of the company’s growth, but my own growth as a businessman. My mind and heart began to shift as I focused on more and more growth for the company.

#11

I have fallen into the trap of more and more.
