Am I clinging to stuff - or is stuff clinging to me?

Seems I spend waaay too much time/energy moving stuff! I'm in major "simplify mode" - which requires getting rid of stuff! - Yet it's not easy to part w/ so much of it!

I have no real hobbies....but still manage to collect (accumulate!) stuff.

I crave the feeling/sense of accomplishment (success?) I get when I have a place for everything and everything is in its place, yet rarely attain it. I get so close....but even that requires so much effort (time & energy!).

A lot of my stuff is sentimental/heirloom in nature - wrapped in memories that seem to "obligate" me to keep it.

So much of my stuff causes me to feel safe, satisfied & significant - yet I'm convinced these are the very same features of the most effective traps ..... and that comfort and convenience are the lures.

If I can just rid myself of a lot of stuff - I'll have so much more.... time, space, money, energy (freedom?).

All of this causes me to consider ..... Are success & freedom synonyms or antonyms?
