We All Have Stuff



Today’s title is not an earth shattering revelation; however, understanding that we all have stuff can be life changing.  By stuff, I’m talking about emotional baggage, the past, demons, insecurities, and everything else that comes with life.  Anyone that says they are baggage free is either delusional or a liar.  Anyone that says their past is completely behind them has their heads way up in the clouds. Don’t even get me started on being “totally secure.”  If you ever want a good laugh, read the personal ads out there.  Hell, I never knew there were so many perfect and well-adjusted people in this world.

I know I have stuff, and I openly admit it. Fortunately, I do not have near enough the stuff as before, but I still have stuff.  I do have emotional baggage (a backpack’s worth rather than a steamer trunk), my past sometimes creeps into my present, there are a few demons (I know their names and kick them often), and a fair amount of insecurities.  The difference now though is rather than fight it all I work with and through it. 

You have stuff. I have stuff.  We all have stuff!  Accept your stuff, work with it, and watch how you change your life and the lives of those around you.
