Inheritance From Dickson Idlier

If you cannot convince people who are in denial, don't bother. They are in their world of their own and they don't trust you enough to listen to you. Let them be.  — Dickson Idlier

If you want to declutter your home, you should stop purchasing anything first. Then go through all your stuff and keep those you need. The rest can put into a box and after 3 months, if you never take it out, high chance that you don't need it at all. You may sell, give away or throw.  Not having the stuff in the first place allows you to feel more relax and the extra space give you more freedom (able to let go) and detach yourself from it. You should keep the stuff that brings you joy. By surrounding yourself with stuff that brings you joy, every little thing brings a smile on your face. This is the start of being content with what you have. Your mind can be cluttered too. Start to declutter physically. Then slowly declutter your mind. It works. — Dickson Idlier

Life gets more complicated with "add and add" mentality. So when you start to subtract things in your life, life becomes simpler. Lesser to manage and to be concern about. Once you embrace this mentality, you would slowly and surely be on the right path to a simple life. A term commonly used is "Less is More".  — Dickson Idlier Less is more Definition: Simplicity is better than elaborate embellishment; Sometimes something simple is better than something advanced or complicated.

Many people think of their future too much that they lose themselves, losing track of what is important to them. Until when death is at the door, they express their regrets. So give yourself time to rediscover what is important to you now and give more time to those that matter to you from now on.  — Dickson Idlier

Minimalism is keeping what is essential. This is different for everyone. It is all about balance. Just adjust and adapt to your lifestyle. Ignore what others say and you will be fine. Enjoy.  — Dickson Idlier

This is a good quote to define what is declutter and minimalism. Both requires planning and action to achieve results.  — Dickson Idlier

Be a world-class declutterer than a world-class organizer. Organized clutter is still clutter. Only when they are out of your life then they are not a concern to you. So why wait if you can own less stuff to enjoy more time for yourself? — Dickson Idlier

Embrace the new norm. Success and happy life need ample rest, recovery of the body and mind and reflection of the past to pave way for the future. Align yourself to these broaden your perspective, achieve better state of mind and health. Remember, success does not mean bigger paycheck or bigger anything but how you live your life and your actions.  — Dickson Idlier

Summarizes simple living perfectly. What more can I say.  — Dickson Idlier

Busy has been a norm but why should we? It is just wasting your precious time on what supposed to be important and urgent but is it true? You only get stressed, tired and restless. Spend quality time on yourself and stuff important to you. This is call living.  — Dickson Idlier

Beautiful things are not material objects itself, but feelings and memories that you experienced when you see them. Cherish the people and moments that created these beautiful things. Once you understand this truth, you can have more beautiful things in your life and not taking up your precious space.  — Dickson Idlier

Many people will realize their mistake when they noticed that the clutter they have used to be money. The thinking "I may have use for it.", "It is on SALE!" or "Buy just in case." are all bullshit. The short satisfaction of buying something will only be an eroded feeling of wasting that money for something more worthy. Only when repurpose existing items or when the item has a long term purpose, do you think should you buy it. Try borrowing or get second-hand and sell off later. Does it make better sense?  — Dickson Idlier

The thought of buying stuff to satisfy you does not work. At most only for a moment and does not last. Look for other alternatives.  — Dickson Idlier

Clutter is just things that are holding you back from what you want. You just waste too much time on organizing, storing or hiding them. Isn't it time to let them go so you can get what you want in life?  — Dickson Idlier

Be aware! The "just in case I need it" mentally is outdated. Don't own it. Just have access to it. If no access, evaluate its monetary value. Then decide if the item will be used within 3 months to 12 months. After all, these considerations still have no use for it. Then GET RID OF IT by giving it away, selling it or simply just throw it away. You will be surprised how much items you can throw with these considerations. Start now and reduce your junk at home.  — Dickson Idlier

Do you have a never-ending To-Do List? Maybe it's time to keep only those matters to you and drop the rest. Then you might discover you have more time than you usually have. Treasure the moment and keep it up.  — Dickson Idlier

In order to be less busy, you should have a stop-doing list. Remove the tasks from your to do list and add to stop-doing list. Then you will slowly realize that you will have more time than you have ever before.  — Dickson Idlier

Other people are not you. They should not manipulate how you live your life. ONLY YOU can decide for yourself. Ignore their opinion or take it with a pinch of salt. Just be yourself. Then you will be free to do what you wanted.  — Dickson Idlier

Why compare yourself with others? It is not an apple to apple comparison at all. Each of us has different lives to live and purpose to fulfil. Just be who you are and be good at it as well. You will be surprised what is the outcome.  — Dickson Idlier

Being confidence is not overconfident about yourself, but know yourself and being yourself. Actions speak louder than words.  — Dickson Idlier
