Who's home do you live in?

It doesn't matter if you own your home or if your renting, but who's home is it? If you look around, what do you see? We get used to seeing our home every day and we don't see it the same way a stranger would, so here's something to try. Get a mirror, preferably larger than a pocket mirror but small enough for you to carry with you. Now take a look at your place through the mirror. What do you see?
Does your home reflect who you are? Does it reflect who you used to be or who you want to be?
If you see things that you never use, get rid of them. If you see things that are broken, get rid of them. If you see things that are ugly and cheap, hide them (or get rid of them).
I am not selling you feng shui, but make sure you home is making you feel not only safe and relaxed but also confident about yourself and your goals, what ever your goals are.
Now, don't go spending money on latest trends or new appliances, but instead make the most of what you already have. Get rid of stuff that is holding you back or reminding you from the times when you had even less money that now. Sell the stuff for some cash or if you still need them, keep them hidden. Don't forget to dust, wash and polish. Anything looks better sparkling, shiny and clean.
Isn't it easier to believe to be succesfull when you're reminded of your achievements instead of been stuck with memories of your hard times?
If you need to buy something for your home, go for the quality if you can afford it. If you can't without been set back with your goals, then don't. And never ever take your credit card to IKEA with you..
