Is Your Life...overstuffed like a purse?

Our life can become like an overstuffed purse; heavy and lacking the efficiency of its intended purpose.  The contents we carry around with us are to accommodate and help us to be efficient, not hinder our ability to function.  Contents of our purse can be dumped with a sudden impact like slamming on the car brakes which will force us to look at the inside or when we are frustrated enough...we will choose to make the time and dump the entire contents out and go through each item.  Either way, the dump allows us to see and examine everything that we have been carrying around with us...to determine what we need to carry with us and what we need to toss out.  We find stuff we thought we had lost, we throw away things we wonder why we ever chose to carry in the first place, we find broken pieces that need repair...some things can be given away.  Some stuff is just gross and we're horrified that we were carrying it!  Finally, we realize that we must periodically go through and examine what we are carrying around with us...the contents of what we carry impacts our ability to access the things we need in life to function effectively every day. This is an ongoing life process...make time to clean out and organize what you carry with you. So go on, look in your purse, you will feel so much better!
