The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing (Magic Cleaning #1)

People cannot change their habits without first changing their way of thinking.

To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose.

It is not our memories but the person we have become because of those past experiences that we should treasure. This is the lesson these keepsakes teach us when we sort them. The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.

Life becomes far easier once you know that things will still work out even if you are lacking something.
