Reaching for the stars is very laborious work! First we must lift ourselves above our comfort zone and, like Icarus, fly far closer to the sun. When our lift is weighted by over-commitment, complicated by relationships and tethered by too much clutter, we’ll simply never get off the ground.

Ask yourself, am I really committed to the hard work involved? Am I looking for immediate gratification? Am I willing to invest emotional labor into making my relationships meaningful? Can I really live without another collectible that collects dust on the shelves.

Lena Horne is quoted to have said…

“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”

Choose wisely what brings the most meaning into your life. You’ll discover they are the worthiness and values carried in our heart…and they don’t cost a dime or weigh an ounce.
