Episode Highlights
Why Do We Collect Things?
- Collecting allows us to invest our time, energy, and money into something that is purely a passion. It doesn’t force us to follow deadlines or obligations.
What Can We Gain From It?
- When you begin with a goal in mind, you can create a collection of something that has value to you. Consider what that might be.
- Instead of wasting money on things we don’t particularly like for the sake of buying things, we can save up money to invest in a new part of our collection.
- This can be a form of self-care.
5 Powerful Quotes
- “Early humans were collectors at heart, picking up food, rocks for tools, and fur from animals to make it through the next season.”
- “The act of returning to this collection to add more pieces or admire the pieces that we already have brings intense satisfaction and self-confidence.”
- “Some of the more common things to collect are gemstones, comic books, coins, vintage toys, antiques, or plants. Consider what works best for your current living situation, financial capability, and long-term goal.”
- “Sometimes the goal is to just line a window sill with pretty colored stones and plants, and there certainly is nothing we object about filling your space with beautiful things.”
- “Collectors of items with significant history may have a more altruistic goal in mind, such as to donate the collection to a museum for others to learn from and appreciate.”
