This is going to be kind of a throw away post, because I am in the middle of reorganizing my entire world after having just moved in to a new house.

I made a decision several years ago to start downsizing the amount of possessions I have. While I am nowhere near the “move it all in one sedan” place, I think I am pretty close to the smallest size Uhaul truck. I’m okay with that for now. I will keep working at it. For now though, I have managed to get everything I own in to my room, with the exception of my (huge amount) of craft stuff and the small bits of kitchen stuff. In fairness, the kitchen stuff could live in my room too, but why would it, given I have a kitchen?

Having everything in my room means I have to organize things in a way I never have before. Everything must have a place, and if it doesn’t, I need to not have it in my possession anymore. So today, I am organizing.

Interestingly, I have not had to buy any new organizational things like shelves. I have just used the things I already owned, but in a different way than I was previously using them.

I am exceedingly happy with having all my stuff in my room.

Most people are completely out of touch with their own strengths and weaknesses. So many decide they want to do something (lead, write a book, be in the spotlight) for some reason (power, fame, glory), except the way they choose to do that something ends in utter failure because they actually SUCK at whatever it is they have chosen to do. A little bit of introspection can show people the things in which they are weak; however so few are willing or maybe even able to do that type of personal contemplation that over and over again, people just mess things up.

This infuriates me. Not everyone needs to be a leader or in the spotlight. Some people are better at some things than others. I don’t understand why people have such a difficult time finding their own strengths and sticking with things in which those strengths can be applied, rather than attempting things in which they are weak and making those things suck.

What really boggles my mind is when people do things and they think they’re good at those things, except they actually suck. How can people be so blind to their own faults?
