Start with wardrobe

I have started with cleaning up my wardrobe.
My wardrobe is a mess. I have many clothes which I rarely wear. Some of them are pretty old like 5 to 6 years.
I have whopping 21 t-shirts, which I rarely use.
This is before after picture of my wardrobe.

As you can see, not much is changed. I could got rid of 5 pants, 4 t-shirts and 4 belts..


It seems, I am not able to con-quire my affection towards old stuff.
I will keep working on this. 



My motivation

I feel my life's purpose is to be happy. Although we give very low priority to happiness, I think happiness is the most important thing in our life. I am no exception. Although I have already spent more than half part of my life, I haven't figured out my happiness. I know happiness means different to everyone. I have tried to find things which makes me happy. To name a few, playing video games, watching movies, walking in greenery, bicycling and youtubing are some of the things which, I thought makes me happy. I experienced so many time, even though I like these things so much, they don't makes me happy, regardless of how many times I do it. Some activities, like playing video games, even makes me tired instead of giving me any sort of energy. I figured out, that I am not giving so much energy and time on these things because they give me happiness, but because I am addicted to them. In any way, I am no better than alcoholic or nicotine addict. I don't want to be a slave of my habits any more.
My recent experience motivated me to get rid of my addictions. I am trying to follow less calorie diet. I am failing in it since long time, till last month. Here is my secret. Due to severe throat infection, I had to stop oily and sweet food completely. After following this for 3 weeks, I have observed that I don't feel carving for fried and sweet food any more. I don't need fried food to make my taste buds happy but I started enjoying every day food. Which was boring to me, a month back.

After googling, I got impressed with Minimalist lifestyle, which is kind of better and disciplined way to get rid of all unwanted things from my life. I am sure, it will help me to increase my every level and reduce distractions in my life. 

Here is my journey towards simplifying and decluttering my life.
