Throw it out!

Get rid of it.

As we approach the Christmas season, my family and I decided to do our major cleaning. I think we scheduled all our major cleaning and so it was pretty much anticipated. However, we always find things that we are afraid to part with, this year was no different, but we had to be decisive

As we sort through bags and boxes we decided to stop. We had decided we were not going to look in another box or bag, instead we were just going to throw them out. Risky right? But it had to be done because we were hoarding things again. Things we had done without for years, but nostalgia wanted us to keep it

Similarly, in life, we tend to habor things that needs to be thrown out or just let go. We keep holding on the past hurt, past love that no longer loves us back and things that have no more value to it. Why? Because we keep reopening those “boxes” and having open them we feel the need to hold onto them. Even, if for years those things never bothered you the moment you stir up old things they come back to life.

I am not saying you should forget your past, I saying that there are some things that you have now outgrown and it needs to go and stay in the past. Stop clinging to that photo, stop clinging to that dress (you are no longer a size two), stop saying “if I knew”. Its time to be progressive and a part of being progressive requires you to releases those baggages that are weighing you down.

Aren’t you tired of the weight? Tired of the hate, the angry, the bitterness, the one sided love? Aren’t tired of starving herself to get back to that size 2? You are a size 10 or whatever and you are fantastic! Throw it out you will be fine.

Bitter Moments

Moments in Life

One of the most popular “bush” tea in Jamaica is the cerasee tea. One of the most notable thing about this tea is how bitter it is and also leaves that taste lingering in your mouth for a while. Like this tea, situations in life can be just as unpleasant.You have a choice though, you can choose only to remember the unpleasant moment, or, you can take the lesson it has to offer.

Every moment in your life is, or can be a teachable one, it all depends on how you look at it. The reality is not everyday of you life will be filled with smooth sailing and happiness, but it does not mean that your entire life will be full of hardships either.

Life is a mixture of things, mixture of different moments. It is filled with joy, happiness, sadness, heartbreak, Love, laughter, betrayal, peace, bitter moments, sweet moments and a lot more. But all of these combine the make life interesting, fun and unpredictable. Remember always that life is a gift, live life, love life and laugh hard.
