letting go of all the clutters in our life

"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few. "--Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I love summer and every summer I am at the beach. I love seeing people playing in the water. While we are in the beach Nicolo, Tommaso and I did some beachcombing in search of the perfect seashell. From a distance, everything brought in by the tide looked like debris. Unbroken and broken shells are seen ashore. We are awestruck to the beauty of each shell we collected.

Our lives are the same as the seashells scattered in the shores. So many beautiful things surrounds us but there is also instances that this beauty can get lost amidst all of the debris surrounding them. Too much of a good thing becomes clutter. The challenge is to identify the “keepers” and let go of the rest.

There are so many clutters in our life that stress us out -- family problems, issues with friends, marital relationship/love relationship, work, money which include paying bills. We must learn to let go of all the clutters in our life.

Envy is simply being jealous of something that someone else has. When you are envious of someone else, you are comparing yourself to them. Why wont just feel happy and contented on what you have right now? Do not compare yourself to other because there are also good things that you have that they don't have. So let go of envy because the potential for true happiness exists within you right now.

Sometimes we are afraid to do something because we think that we might fail. We are hesesitate to show the real us because we are afraid that people might judge us. We don't want to make friends to others because we are afraid that we might me rejected. If we judge ourself first before doing anything how can they trust you? No one will ever believe in you because you doesn't believe in yourself. So let go of all the pretensions in yourlife because your the only one who makes the own you.

Each one of us is unique. We have our own mind to think and own beliefs to follow. We have different values, ideas, opinions, likes and dislikes in life. We cannot tell someone to follow what we believe. Don't worry if people will not follow you because sometimes what you believe is right for them is wrong. Worrying too much will stress you out. So let go of being so closed-minded and be contented and happy in life by being open on how different people thinks.

There are so many things in our life that are not useful and it makes us look so stressfull and distruct us on our daily lives. These clutters in our life hinders us to become happy. Learn to let go and live life in the fullest.
