become less attached to material possessions

trying hard! i seem to have transfered my possesion onto money now, and food. since these are the 2 main things that effect my life they are the only thing that holds importance – if i can break free of these then i will be at peace!

doing well with this, i dont hold meaning in objects so much, and dont feel the need to buy things ‘just in case i may need them in the future’.

the only things that still hold value to me are money and food, im kinda obsessing over them, which isnt good.

people in the 3rd world are dying from hunger. people in the 1st world die from greed!

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~Lao Tzu

We don’t need to increase our goods nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants. Not wanting something is as good as possessing it. ~Donald Horban

i gave up alot of things that i thought i was attached to and found that i didnt care for them. however i have recently realised that i seem to be more attached to the things i have now, and am holding them in some kind of special importance. i must realise it is just stuff, and it doesnt contribute to my spiritual health in any way(except making me more cmfortable). im the same way with money, i need to move out of this!!
