Let It Go

Not only am I going to talk about life and the lessons that should be learned from it, but I'm also going to discuss how to organize your life for a less stressful future. I'd say a successful future, but I don't hold your destiny in my hand. I'm just going to politely offer up some suggestions, which  you can take or leave. If it helps just one person, then I'm calling it good. So here we go:


First thing's first: Let's discuss THROWING THINGS AWAY! Yes, I yelled it because there are so many people out there that just can't let stuff go. Honestly, I feel like they are the same folks who hold on to grudges and hurts that eat away at your soul. It's not healthy for you or those around you. So please for at least others' sake, let it go.

And no - I'm not saying throw everything away. I'm saying, you have to get rid of unnecessary things that you don't even use anymore. It's taking up space all because you want stuff. Is it worth it? Is collecting stuff fun? Do you enjoy it? Why? [Collectors, I am not talking to you. You apparently enjoy collecting whatever it is that you collect. You cherish those things right? So that means they are not unnecessary in your world so collect away (not really, but that's another post).] What about those that don't do it for fun? I've heard all types of legitimate excuses, but keep in mind that an excuse is just that - AN EXCUSE.

"I might be audited": Scan & file accordingly.
"I might need to look at it again some day": When? Why? File it accordingly then.
"I'm saving it for my future child(ren)/grandchild(ren)": NO! Rarely is this even worth it ... think about it.

I'm sure there are many other excuses out there, but these are just a few that really ruffle my feathers. It's ridiculous how people have such an excruciating time letting things go; and this includes not only stuff, but people, ideas, etc. Understanding that letting go is a process, I will not say that it is an easy one, BUT it is absolutely necessary to life! Come on people let's get it together!
