Let Go of the Old to Make Room for the New
Who goes to fetch water with a full cup? If you want fresh water, it’s best to empty the cup beforehand.
Have you noticed that when you empty a drawer, it quickly fills up with various objects?
It’s the same in life. We make space in life by first letting go of the small old things that ‘might come in handy.’ It’s hard to believe that something you haven’t used in three years, you’ll ever use again!
At one point, I convinced a friend to throw away everything she didn’t use from her house… the next day she called me to say she felt her house was light and that’s how she felt too. She felt like she could fly, and the difference in personal energy was evident.
It’s one of the methods that helps you even when you feel like you have a lot of problems on your mind. Clean up your house, throw away anything that burdens it, and you’ll feel how this is reflected in your mind.
When asked for recommendations for weight loss or a change in life, the first step on my to-do list is a drastic clean-up… in the closet.
