Jettison the Junk...

This past weekend was an adventure in the art of doing the obvious, but not recognizing it until after the fact. Yet having profound results. Let me explain...

I drove up to where I use to live where I still have some of my possessions in storage. These 'possessions' have been in storage for over a year. After ruffling through my stuff for over a hour it hit me. What the hell am I doing with all this old stuff, stuff I have owned for many years that are;
1- Old and warn, 2) would look horrible in my newer place, 3) look like I'm still hanging out in the '60's listening to The Beach Boys with a poster of a surfer gal on the wall...etc. You should have seen the old chairs I don't even think my pet monkey would take residence in ever again. Like, what is this? After spending what seemed like hours in this square box with the pouring rain outside, it hit me like a ton of bricks. GET RID OF THIS STUFF. The decision was made right on the spot. Over half of what I have is going to people who can use it or to direct to the dump. Plain and simple. I was hanging onto stuff that has no value whatsoever to me any more and I can assure you no monetary value either!

Now, this revelation had interesting after effects in my mind Sunday morning with my fresh cup of java. I realized how much 'junk' I 'possess' that hinders my acceleration towards my goals of optimum health and wealth! The more I hang onto all the old junk the less capable I am to freely go forward. I cannot put my new wine into an old bottle. How could I accept new value and greatness into my life when I would not even let go of the old? Wow, what a question for a guy who thought he had a lot figured out. The things I desire are the new, fresh and abundance of new possessions, relationships...all things on a higher level of thought and energy than where I have hung my hat. So Yes!!! The decision to jettison the junk became an easy one once I recognized it was truly junk and does not serve me any more.
Until the next posting...
