When practice matures, a lot of the mental and material ballast that most people carry becomes obvious. At this point it might be tempting to get rid of all that ballast. Don't do this!
Although it may feel liberating to get rid of stuff that has accumulated and cut connections that do not feel healthy, this is just another manifestation of craving and aversion. If some of the stuff and some of the people in your life really should become less interesting, they will just fade into the background. There is no need to rush this process, and you might later regret some of the decisions you make in the heat of the moment.
