Are you a hoarder? Is every available space in your home, office, or garage cluttered with things that could have been discarded years ago? Why is it that we feel the need to hold on to things that just take up space and have no use to us? Have you ever noticed that when you take the time to clean off your desk, the garage, or clean a room in your home, that it seems as though a weight has lifted off you? Just like physical clutter becomes a burden, emotional and mental weight can become a burden also. Well, it is time to organize our stuff into ‘will need’, ‘might need’, and ‘no longer need’. Only the ‘will need’ pile is necessary to keep. It is the ‘might need’ pile that causes the clutter to pile up.
The same discipline that is necessary to clean out a room, a garage, or a house, is necessary to de-clutter our minds also. It is time to let go of some of some memories, worries, hurts, and dead dreams. Get your ticket and passport ready, focus on your destination, and leave all unnecessary burdens behind. It is time to travel to those places we are destined to see, and do those things we are destined to do[RT1] . Since we pay a surcharge for extra luggage, let’s lighten the load. Let’s take a carryon and a personal item, and let’s make our way to the place that has been awaiting our arrival.
When we are disciplined to successfully fulfill our life’s purpose, we pack smart, discard wisely, and always travel light.
