- "Fake it till you make it" is literally what everyone is doing with lives. Including adults who you thought had their shit together when you were a kid. And especially youth ministers.

- evaluate what you have already: do you have things that already fulfill the same purpose?
- unsubscribe from e-mail
- purchase strategically and allow time to think about it- have a time delay between when you realize you wnat/need it to when you buy it.
- understand why you want to purchase something- to feel good or because it will contribute to your life in a good way and because you need it?
Don't add clutter to your life.
Saving money
- stop buying anything throughout the house (makeup, candles, cleaning products) until I have used what I have.
- if you don't have the money, don't buy it. if you can't afford it, save up for it.

I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say,” Servant of God Dorothy Day once wrote, “and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.”
Day to Day
- Progress, not perfection. Be better than the person you were yesterday
- Every smile is a direct achievement
- Certainty is terrifying. A life of faith is not a life of certainty. A life of faith is a life of doubt. -Andrew Garfield
- Love is a prayer.
- The future has an ancient heart
- I hope when people ask you what you're going to do with your English and/or creative writing degree you'll say: "Continue my bookish examinations of the contradictions and compleixties of human motivation and desire;" or maybe just "Carry it with me, as I do everything that matters." An...

- The flaws in others which bother us the most are usually the the worst flaws within ourselves.
- Genuine beauty and truth will never be opposition.
- Trying to force someone to live a lifestyle isn't going to work. When you stop telling people how to live and start living in alignment with your values, everything will change. Live the exact life you want and live consistently. People around you will notice and will begin to change.
- the best thing you can do is LIVE your values. When you live in alignment with what you believe in, you can only inspire people and you don't have to tell people to change. They will be inspire by you and want to do that too.

Live with what you LOVE and what you NEED- material items, relationships, hobbies, experiences, etc.
Reject the basic assumptions of civilization especially the importance material possessions.
The things you own end up owning you.
It's only after we've lost everything we're free to do anything
Conscious consumerism
Be aware of how products are made and the impact on other humans, animals, the environment, and yourself.
Minimialize with: 1. space, 2. mind, 3.time
- Television (limit your exposure to advertising)
- laundry soap
- kitchen clutter- only the amount of plates, silverware, glasses, etc. that you NEED

- * When you know how much God is in love with you, then you can only live your life radiating that love." -St. Teresa of Calcutta
- But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many thing. Vincent Van Gogh.
- "For most of my life I have struggled to find God, to know God, to love God. I have tried hard to follow the guidelines of the spiritual life—pray always, work for others, read the Scriptures—and to avoid the many temptations to dissipate myself. I have failed many times but always tried again, even when I was close to despair.
Now I wonder whether I have sufficiently realized that during all this time God has been trying to find me, to know me, and to love me. The question is not “How am I to find God?” but “How am I to le...
