Clearing the Clutter

I've been letting go...

 

of things

Going from room to room

Eliminating things that no longer serve a purpose in my life

Keeping only what makes me smile or serves a need

"Clutter clearing is modern-day alchemy" 

~Denise Linn

 

of people

In my heart I know when it's time to cut the cord

but sometimes my head says otherwise

"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

When you figure out which it is, you will know what to do." 

~Michele Ventor

 

of thoughts

behaviors, self-talk

Ever notice how some thoughts are so ingrained they've formed ruts in your brain?

So I figured if I want something different

And it hasn't changed

then it's time to change my thoughts

"What we think, we become"

~Buddhist quote

 I thought I was using all this clutter-clearing as an avoidance tactic

When in reality, letting go has fertilized my journey

Besides feeling lighter & freer, I've had

New ideas, people, opportunities

'doors' opening

 

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary

so that the necessary may speak"

~Hans Hofmann

 

 And perhaps that's why I felt a need to let go

Maybe things had become so (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) cluttered

that I could no longer see my way around

 

"He is so rich he has no room to shit"

~Marcus Aurelius
