Jared Pilkington’s Reviews > The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own > Status Update

Hurrying from thing to thing doesn’t do anybody any good.

Loved the idea of our bodies being an instrument for doing good rather than an ornament for looking good.

Less does not mean the same as none!!!

I think this is so huge and the lie we believe is that less is the same as none. Believing that lie keeps us from saying yes to the best things and no to other things.

Saying no has the power to empower you!

Leave room

1. You can't experience new memories or relationships by always holding onto things of the past 🔥

2. The feelings of never being or having enough will never go away, but neither will Jesus' response to bringing what we have - Matthew 14

3. Have we ever stopped to think about why we believe what we do? Just because it's the way that it is doesn't make it right.

Boundaries help us focus on what really matters instead of what just kinda matters!

soooooooo good! Also...loved decluttering my closet, office, and books because of this chapter. Cait, don't look at the books part of this update 😅

Clutter is anything that interferes with the life we could be living...dang.

I want to look at my life and feel peace about what I own and commit to that's enough but not too much

When we say no to something, it creates space. What matters next is what we decide to fill that space with.

Catch sight of the destination AS you begin the journey. Saying no MULTIPLIES the space God uses to guide you into your values and purpose. You don't have to have it all figured out to start. 80%>100%

So much good in this today!!

This is the principle of 10x. Not only does saying no to unnecessary things free up the same amount of space for the necessary things, but in God's Kingdom, it MULTIPLIES the space for God-sized opportunities to occupy that space!
