I love the spring
season. The weather is great which leads
to parties with friends, travel to fun places, and Harley therapy. Heck, there are two parties this weekend
alone plus a trip to Cozumel next week. Spring
is also the time of transitioning from the winter season to summer season. It is better known as Spring Cleaning. I remember my dear friend Robert would always
look forward to my spring-cleaning as it meant nice clothes and sometimes
furniture for his church and charity. A
few weeks ago, I began gathering up the clothes I will donate to Robert’s charity,
looking around the house to see what needs to leave, and also snapshotting my
life to see what I may need to clean up. Yes, there are things I need to clean
up there too.
There are people in my circle
that are in the season of change, but they are not sure what is going on. Some are in places where careers are in play,
some with relationships in transition, and some that are doing a wholesale
evaluation of their life. For some, it
is scary, as they feel change in the air but are not sure what it is or what to
do with it. At one time, I was one of those people. I knew something was in the air, and that it
was somewhat uncomfortable. Now, I
welcome this time of the year. For me, it means getting rid of clothes I no
longer wear that will end up helping someone else that may not be able to
afford new things. It is also a time of
getting rid of “stuff” that no longer adds to my life in a positive way. Here is the secret on how I made the
transition from being scared to welcoming. I changed my perspective. It is not about getting rid of things any
longer. It is all about making room in
my life for new experiences and new people, better known as growth. Change is not always easy but it is
necessary. Without change, we stop
growing and wither away.
What will you get rid of with
your spring-cleaning?
