LEAVE YOUR GARBAGE AT THE DUMP…..Where it should be

Anyone who’s thinking of making a fresh new start, I beg you to leave all your dirty linens, baggage at the dump, don’t even think of bringing it near the door of the ‘entrance to the new home’ in your life and heart.

You see, I’ve heard so many said they have made a new start, new life and still hang to the remnants of their past episodes in their lives, making it a continued series and their past continues to ruin their present life and relationships with others.

Are you putting one foot through that new door and still leaving the other one on the outside, is it fear or you don’t trust yourself? Some may say that they trust no one, oh what a sad way to live. Yes there are ‘gremlins’ out there waiting to use and devour you, nothing is wrong with having a little air of caution about you but if one base their present life on their past experiences they’ll get no where as you’d be stuck in the past with all your fears; your ‘if I only knew.

‘If I only knew’, was meant to be a lesson even though it was a cruel and harsh lesson. I’ve had my share of disappointments but I’ve decided to make an appointment instead with my destiny. I don’t cry over spilled milk instead I wipe it off, clean that ‘table’ or ‘floor’ of my life so that I don’t slip and fall over that spill, walk over that part where the milk was spilled but now dried. And move on. Do you get my drift?:-))

Learn to close doors in your life instead of hanging on to the knobs, let it go, slam that door and push open the other one. Don’t look back; look back to only pleasant memories and if you can smile at a lesson. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. The journey won’t end until your last breath, and should you encounter challenges don’t become despondent, learn from these challenges/lessons and move on.

That’s what I do, I do have my unhappy moments, but I challenge them every time. Those moments will not win and don’t last forever. Don’t let them win. Happiness is a state of mind.

I am happy despite my challenges. I am at peace with myself. The world will always have its echoes of confusions but singularly one must find their inner peace in the midst of it and thrive on or you’d be devoured by it.

Learn to be happy with yourself before sharing yourself with anyone. That’s important or you’d see life and people through the negative eyes you are enveloped in. Don’t step into people’s lives with all your garbage you’d only stagnate their life. Even if they are a good person, you’d find everything wrong with them, masking everything wrong with you and place that insecurities unto that person without realizing you’re doing so.

Love yourself, so you can love others unconditionally. Hugs.

Why Do You Walk Through My Door
With All Your Baggage Lying On The Floor
I Say Clean It Up And Put It At The Dump
Don’t Carry With You All Your Life’s Thumps And Bumps

You Want To Make A New Start In Life
I Beg You Let Go Off All Your Past And Strife
I Don’t Need Your Crowded Space And Past
I Only Need To Make A Fresh New Start

If You’re Planning To Crowd Me In
I Suggest You Search Yourself Deep Within
Let Go Of All Your Folly And Misconceptions
And Face Life Head On Without Retrogression

Your Happiness In Life Depends On Your Now
You Made It Through Your Past Somehow
Place Your Confidence In Your Now And Today
Forget What Others Did Or What They Would Say

I Don’t Need Your Insecurities
Cause in your Hands You Hold The keys
The Keys To A bright And Promising Future
If You’d Only Stop Being Bitter

All You Need Is A Clean Slate To Write On
Not Your Past Which Keeps You Stagnant
Close Those Cracked And Broken Down Doors
And Move On To Face Your Brighter Tomorrows
