Even Less

In the past 4 years, I've managed to get rid of a lot of habits in purchasing things I don't need.  I used to go to movies all the time, spend most of my time going to stores buying things I don't need, and wasting time doing things I didn't need to do.
With daily life getting in the way of the things I love, I figured it was time to get rid of the wasted time, and purchasing habits.  So, little by little, I asked my self every time I did something or bought something, "Do I really need this?  Do I really need to do this?  Is this going to help with my goals?  Or is this just keeping me from my goals?"
If I didn't love it, have a passion for it, and found that it didn't help in any way with my goals, I got rid of it.  Now, I find I'm only surrounded by the things I love and have a passion for.  Books, Writing, Music, Traveling!  Is there anything else?  For me, the answer is no.  Why waste time on things I like, when I could be doing something I love?
