Being clear of clutter is one of the greatest aids I know to discovering and manifesting the life you want.

Clutter is stuck energy. The word "clutter" derives from the Middle English word "clotter," which means to coagulate - and that's about as stuck as you can get.

Keeping things 'just in case' indicates a lack of trust in the future.

So many people have the TV or radio constantly turned on “for company,” or spend their time reading trashy novels, aimlessly surfing the Net, and so on. Then suddenly one day you are old or sick and you realize you have done nothing with your life. All your thoughts are other people's thoughts and you have no idea who you really are or what the purpose of your life might be.

Never underestimate the effect of clutter on your life.

The territorialism and desire to possess things comes directly from the ego, which strives to own and control things. Your spirit already knows you own nothing. It is a matter of realizing that your happiness does not depend on your ownership of things. They help you in your journey but they are not the journey itself.

The reason why clutter clearing is effective is that while you are putting your external world in order there are corresponding changes going on internally too.
