Excess Luggage

January 22nd, 2022.

Unnecessary Cares

There are times we allow some unnecessary things to weigh us down, they are excess luggage. It might be relationship weight that we carry, it might be physical weight as both or even financial weight.

These weights cloud our minds and weigh us down, never making us make a decision.

One of the most common problems is excess luggage while going for a trip. If you are like me, you may have done this before by forgetting to leave some luggage at home when travelling, only to find them weighing your back on the way home. It feels so frustrating.

I want you to imagine that you are going to travel abroad, the struggles you face before the trip and even after the trip. I want you to imagine the excitement on your face when finally arriving and all the things you want to do and places to visit when reaching there. Most of us take pictures every now and then on our trip to remember all the wonderful moments of it. But if we carry some unnecessary baggage, it will make us weak and draw us back.

Excess luggage

There are some unnecessary things in our life that we carry around with us and they seem to weigh us down. Sometimes, the luggage is not even ours, they belong to other people, but we still carry them. The luggage is a heavyweight and it is very hard for us to drop them. It is probably because of the guilt we feel when we think about the fact that someone trusted us with their precious things and how sorry we feel for letting them down. And yes, some of that guilt is also about what we could have done with these precious things if we had chosen to stay true to our hearts and use them wisely. There are just some things you can't get back if you let them go.

In addition, many times, this luggage is not even ours, to begin with, or they are the wrong size for what our lives need today. The truth is that some of these things are broken and beyond repair.

Unnecessary Burdens

There are times we allow some unnecessary things to weigh us down, they are excess luggage that adds unnecessary weight and burdens to our journey. At times we strive to get rid of them but somehow we still hold on to them, why is that?

We should be free from such burdens and live a life with more freedom and flexibility.

There are things we do and decisions we make that tie us down. We tend to think it is for our security but in fact, it does the opposite. You need to understand that today's life is not like yesterday. The way information is disseminated changes the way things are done.

What things? I guess some people think that bags of money are unnecessary burden. Some people think that too much work is an unnecessary burden. I don't know what you think but I think some things that we carry around unnecessarily will weigh us down and sometimes they are like excess thinking, fear, worry, concern and sometimes the heavyweights that we carry in our hearts.

Millions of people are suffering due to the burdens they carry around throughout the day. The unnecessary things we allow to weigh us down can be burdens. We take what we love to do, a hobby, a passion or a profession, we dream and we learn how to do it well, then we do it but as the time comes by, our clients, our customers and even our bosses begin to dictate how we should do our passion.

The main thing/focus is that we shouldn't allow anything to weigh us down, whatever seems not working for you, drop them and move on. Putting others burdens on yourself needs to stop as well. Stay light.
