for the first time in three years I have
a home it's a huge apartment with so
much space space space see for three
years I had no space I was traveling
full-time living out of a small backpack
that was this big inside of it I could
only fit 10 t-shirts underwear and one
pair of pants this was everything that I
own and because I didn't have much space
everything I bought had to pass the
mounting test if the object was worth
carrying up a mountain on my back with
no hassle then I buy
if it's not then I don't the mountain
test allows you to keep only what's
important to you and travel freely but
when you don't travel things are
different you get a home and you get a
lot of space so you ba-ba-ba-ba the
latest gadgets latest clothes ladies
came back and before we know it our
homes get full and lives get cluttered
and we have failed the mountain test
this is why traveling full-time was the
best thing to happen to me it taught me
to be careful of what I buy it taught me
that we don't need much to survive and
that clutter kills you inside that's why
I'm buying only the essentials the
comfortable beds pillows furniture and
that's it and for everything else I'm
applying the mounting test are you sure
though what about the pan the pan I
probably wouldn't you know take this on
top of a mountain but I will still buy
it
look the mountain test is extreme it's
very very extreme you know the whole
point of it is to make you think five
times before buying something new
because even if you have space in your
home it doesn't mean that we have space
in your life for all these different
objects
let's ever a deep-fried response and
that's the whole point
[Music]
a big house should be filled with people
and parties not with objects and gadgets
because at the end of the day happiness
does not come from an object
