Hello Ronald. I usually start by clearing up, throwing out things that just sit there. But I find that the same things, usually the bigger questions, get on the pile "need to be sorted out", so, in effect I get stuck in just moving around piles. Letting go of old life goals (or were they only dreams?) I find hard. What do you think about distinguishing dreams from goals?

Aloha Ron. What has helped me is understanding the why? For example why am I still holding onto grandmom's toothpick holder from the 1960's? It traveled 6000 miles from Delaware to Maui and it sits on a desk holding 3 pencils. Next to it sits a plastic cup full of pens & pencils but I can't stand the thought of it being useless. Attachment that's why it there or more like a soul connection. Its then I realize I will always be connected to my grandmom. So out went the toothpick holder along with with a bunch of stuff or dare I say soul attachments. Books that are helping me on MY journey The Total Money Makeover Dave Ramsey The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen R Covey The Shift: from Ambition to Meaning Dr. Wayne Dyer These are the most pivotal books I've read in teaching me Integrity Intention & Discipline. Much love & laughter💞🌈

I recently picked up the book Boundaries and it has been very empowering. I thought I was pretty good with my limits, but the book actually revealed how much work was still needed. It has been empowering and since I now have "permission" to say NO and not allow others to trample me, I find I am enjoying life so much more and accomplishing so much more. I feel like I can more clearly see my purpose and identify my goals

This is why I love minimalism. It helps us cut off the excesses in order for us to focus and prioritize on what matters.

💡 “Whatever we consciously chose to focus on, we’re also categorizing that thing as important.” 💡 This is the brutal truth whether we want to acknowledge it or not. Wherever we place our thoughts and actions - that is what we are really deeming as a priority. Thank you as always for the great content 😊🙌

When I was in school for massage therapy, we actually had a class on learning to say no. It’s a skill that has to be developed. Best and most helpful class I’ve ever taken. Another stellar video. Your beautiful smile brightens my day. 💗

Knowing your values is definitely important but so is knowing what your present value hierarchy is at the time, this will really help 😊

It’s hard to get over that fear lol!! But yeah, if I stay in alignment with my highest self-highest goals/capabilities, it gets easier-that includes letting a lot of stuff, mental, emotional and yes, physical, go back to where it can be transmuted into a higher form of energy or another use for someone else in the physical world. That’s my weakest FOMO moment, in giving up stuff lol

Another great video. When I was younger I spent a lot of time on things which ultimately didn't improve my life. Now, at sixty, when there are more years behind me than in front, my goals are crystallized and I'm very discriminating with what I spend time on and who I spend it with.

Learning to say "no" so powerful

I watched this video twice to really absorb what you were conveying and there are so many truths here.

I like the connections you were making, especially the connection between focus and priorities. One thing good about 2020 is it’s help me to be more focused due to the fact that my choices have been limited.

I absolutely LOVE the metaphor of driving! So simple and yet so profound! 🙌🏽💯

Great video! Well stated! FOMO is definitely something I'm learning to live without. You are a shining example of getting your priorities figured out while you are still young. We all need to work on it no matter what age we are. Thank you Ronald :)

Getting over FOMO is really hard! Esp doing things with friends. Even when we're tired.

First off I’ve been a minimalist all my life. I enjoy this lifestyle because it gives me the time to prioritize things in my life that really matters. Being a minimalist also allows me to reflect on the little things in life and how not to take life for granted. It allows me to focus on the things I need and not the things I want. Sometimes we have to prioritize wants over needs.

Brilliant. Your content is superb. Also, your voice and way of speaking (cadence) is almost musical. Listening to your videos is very enjoyable. Thank you.

As long as i look for answer what is life, the more questions i encounter, yet i kept looking for every answer what life truly is. I just found for me that i dont need all the answer cause i realize is simple. Keep calm, meditate and think that we only live ones. We yet dont know if afterlife is real. If theres a chance that we can live after we die. So there is one thing. Enjoy your life amd make it simple

Thaaaank you !

I'm so inspired from what you share here and find it so motivational.

This definitely resonated with me. I actually don't have a structure for prioritizing my life right now and I think this is what drew me to this video. Thanks!

Hey Ronald I can’t tell you how happy and grateful I was after I watched your videos, I’ve been like how come I didn’t know you earlier? You have inspired me so much and I’m now live with uncluttered and intentionally, no more impulse purchase and more importantly I really made “wanting less” real in my life

Each of these steps can be broken down into a video of there own really. There is so much to unpack (and reflect on here).

Thank you for this video, great presentation and I think is exactly what I needed right now.

Man your videos are awesome and totally awe inspiring to me, I’m from Brazil and I live here, however your thoughts always brings me self inprovement and the Will to become a better version for myself, thanks a lot for the content you are very important for many lives!

I am working on cleaning out my space more on my phone and room. I have found such great peace doing this

5 minutes but you made MANY great points. Delivered the messages very clearly and effectively. Keep it up, hope your channel grows.

Love your video's u always know how to break it down. honestly is funny how i've been in the same boat as u with reflecting too! i've been took a break from my music and reflecting now that i took a long break whats next ? so i've decided to take courses to perfect on my craft and many other things. i appreciate you helping me out and others with prioritizing what's more important and what have u wasted ur time prioritizing especially the focus one which im working on more now and i believe after seeing your productivity video with this one it helped what i need to figure out next keep making great videos! u've been helping me.

I found your videos about two years ago but never really realised a lot of the importance in what you’re saying. I can blame childish youth (I’m only 17 now) but I feel like starting off my movement into adulthood with such sound thoughts and patterns will be fairly helpful. I’ve started on my journey to minimalism, and it feels amazing. I don’t want anything I don’t have use for, and I’ve been able to replace these objects with things I’ve really been missing- self confidence, the ability to be honest with myself, and discipline. Thank you for helping me on my journey =D

I don’t have a video on my channel specifically about core values, but I talk about them a lot throughout the majority of my videos. If you’re new to my channel (welcome!) you’ll hear me talk about them a lot. I do however have an episode on the clutterbug podcast all about core values. This is a great conversation to dive into if you want to hear me discuss core values and how to use them when decluttering. Here’s a link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4R8zY9pcrfKe9I.htmlsi=PgkVdfGWdewDd7AC Additionally, few free resources you can checkout: 1. Downloading my free core values worksheet. This worksheet will help you identify your core values: www.ronaldlbanks.com/values 2. The Clarity Club: my free weekly newsletter. I often talk about the importance of core values and how to use them throughout your life.

Yes I intentionally insert spoken word into my videos at times, partly because I’m a poet but also because I’m always looking for new and different ways to explain ideas and concepts. The metaphor I use may be the trigger that resonates with someone and gives them something the think about in relation to their own life and unique journey.
