We all want to cherish a good memory or experience forever, but preoccupation with physical reminders can lead us to live in the past. One of the toughest and most necessary things in the world for growth and happiness is to release our hold on things, places, and people we've outgrown. Too many people never grow and gain expanding new experiences because they cant' see the wisdom of releasing old ones. Junk crowds out new life.
Should we choose to spend our lives collecting and storing artifacts, we will find ourselves … wandering past the precious moment of life at hand. Holding fast to the unneeded and unused - no matter how valuable it once was - will crowd out the capacity for new and greater accomplishments.
Dejunking will make room for more living. When you stop dragging the skeletons of the past, the one-was or once-did, with you, you'll have more freedom. Free yourself from clutter when what you are giving to it outweighs what you are gaining from it.
When it comes to keepsakes, ask only one question: For whom are you keeping it? Who is the documentation for - you? You don't need proof - you experienced it. Meaning isn't kept in things, but in memory. Keep a good memory of something. it costs nothing to keep.
I got some good momentum to cleanse. I'm not done yet. but I did some hard cleansing. it was a good thing to do.
e cleansed an art piece that bit the dust.
