What do we want in our life?

All too often we are busy in acquiring things in our life, thinking that more is better.  The only thing that we end up with is an overflow of stuff, things for a lot of “just in case” scenarios.  Then we never find it when those “just in case” moments come around.  I know that I have been guilty of doing this.  Ending up buying more stuff and ending up with an overflow of stuff.  The result is that we get lost and can’t find anything in all our stuff.  Then we spend a lot of time and energy looking for things and not finding them.  As we are looking for things, we also spend energy on being aggravated over all the other stuff we do not like and don’t want.

Recently I read a book, “Coach yourself to success” by Talane Miedaner where she talks about how all that stuff is not only taking up precious space, it is also taking up energy.  Everything is made of energy.  The molecules in everything are held together by energy.  Our furniture, books and all the other stuff we like to have around us is made up of energy.  All the stuff we do not like and are only tolerating because it was cheap when we bought is energy.  All the stuff that not longer fits us and has long passed its usefulness is also energy.  I’m referring here to both physical and mental energy.  It is here only because we haven’t gotten rid of it, and is taking up precious space and energy.  We are stuck with too much stuff.  All that stuck energy becomes stale and robs us of our energy, our positive active energy.  

Now, the thing to do is to clean house, get rid of the stuff that you have for those farfetched “just in case” moments or could be used again if we would only fix it.  Make space around you and in your mind.  By removing stuff we are making space for new things to enter into our life, which does not have to be material things.

When we have gotten rid of the stuff that is robbing us of our energy, we can ask ourselves the question: “What do I really want? “  The answer might not be things.  It might be a new job, travel or something totally different.  Go look for what you really want in your life.  Go for it!  Don’t just settle for the closest thing or “just in case”.  The sooner you figure this out the sooner you will be living a life of abundance.

Love and peace,
