Your bag of stones

You can begin the life you desire at any given moment. The past consists of the thoughts you have around it. Those thoughts may or may not be accurate. When you choose to dwell on the past, you imbue it with great power. You allow it to dictate the present. Imagine those negative thoughts to each be a one pound stone that you add to a bag you are carrying on your shoulder. As the years pass that bag can weigh hundreds of pounds. Yet no matter how heavy it feels, you continue to haul it along draining you of energy that could be directed toward so many more positive areas of your life. You are free to release that bag of negative messages and start anew at this very moment. You are now experiencing a sense of lightness and excitement. It is your choice as to whether or not you begin to pick up your bag and start filling it with stones again. What would you see as the benefit for making such a choice? As you release your bag of stones, think about how much further you can go in life without its burden. If it helps to name some of your stones to release them, do so. You will likely find that many of them have the same names such as victim. If you don't release them now, you will continue to seek out those same rocks to add to your bag for that is what you will be attracting. Is it time for you to lighten your load? What will it take for you to let go of your bag of stones?
