Are you rolling around in this?
What would you say about a person who never takes out their garbage?
They leave it stored in their drawers, in their cupboards, in plastic totes and boxes all around the house.
You’d probably call them a hoarder.
Let’s say, in addition, from time to time, they pull it out, spread it all over the floor and roll in it, sometimes for hours.
Sounds pretty ridiculous, right?
Yet, we all do something very similar to this, and it makes our life stink!!
We all hold onto garbage: resentments, anger, past embarrassing situations, negative thoughts, out dated ways of thinking.
Every once in a while we pull them out and roll around in them. (sometimes for days)
Some of the garbage may look like this
- “How dare they talk to me like that, treat me like that, do that, etc….”
- “Well, I’ll show them they can’t get by with that……”
- “Things have been horrible and they’ll never get any better…..”
- “I can’t believe I did or said that….what’s wrong with me…..”
As we roll around in our garbage, our anger, resentment, embarrassment, and negativity expands.
Lesson: Take your garbage out as soon as you can, and don’t go try to get it back off the truck or back off the burn pile.
Let it go. When you roll around in it, it stinks up your life!!
