“I believe that tidying is a celebration, a special send-off for those things that will be departing from the house, and therefore I dress accordingly.”

Cherish the things you love. Cherish yourself.

To quietly work away at disposing of your own excess is actually the best way of dealing with a family that doesn’t tidy.

People who use the KonMari Method never revert to clutter again.

Storage, after all, is the sacred act of choosing a home for my belongings.

Start with clothes, then move on to books, papers, komono (miscellany), and finally things with sentimental value.

One reason so many of us never succeed at tidying is because we have too much stuff.

Never, ever tie up your stockings. Never, ever ball up your socks. ―Marie Kondo

I recommend you dispose of anything that does not fall into one of three categories: currently in use, needed for a limited period of time, or must be kept indefinitely.

Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong.

Your past will become a weight that holds you back and keeps you from living in the here and now. To put things in order means to put your past in order, too.

Caring for your possessions is the best way to motivate them to support you, their owner.

The lives of those who tidy thoroughly and completely, in a single shot, are without exception dramatically altered.

Everyone needs a sanctuary.

Clutter has only two possible causes: too much effort is required to put things away or it is unclear where things belong.

Human beings can only truly cherish a limited number of things at one time. As I am both lazy and forgetful, I can’t take proper care of too many things.

To throw away what you no longer need is neither wasteful nor shameful.

Everyone is ready to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments.

As you go through your day today remember that life is an adventure and a celebration.

Colleagues should take care of each other, have fun, celebrate success, learn by failure, look for reasons to praise not to criticize, communicate freely and respect each other.

In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.

The very act of understanding is a celebration of joining, merging, even if on a very modest scale, with the magnificence of the Cosmos.

Nothing better than celebrate your victories with the ones you love.

I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
