We missed the trash truck today. How in the world can someone miss putting their trash out on the curb?
Its ridiculous! It's not like they changed the schedule.
They always come on Thursday mornings. Always! Even on holidays. And that's ridiculous too.
My wife and I are fairly consistent about getting our trash out on the curb on time. This was the first time since we moved into our house that we forgot to put the trash can on the curb.
We have trained ourselves to address this important issue each week because TRASH STINKS!
We don't want garbage piling up in our home. The odor alone is enough to make you sick, but the mess gets even bigger when you add the flies and the rodents. Yuck!
Honestly, I don't always take a weekly inventory of my mental garbage.
You know what I am talking about! Those self destroying thoughts. Those I don't matter and No one cares about me lies.
I need to be as vigilant in taking out the mental waste as I am about taking out the household waste.
How about you?
Our mental garbage stinks too. Not just to us, but for the people who we interact with everyday.
We would never leave trash piling up in our home, but a lot of people allow food, alcohol, and other substances to wreck havoc on our bodies.
What if we paid the same attention to what we place in our bodies and intentionally tried to remove the junk that poisons us?
I am a everything in moderation kinda guy (in theory). But my practice of that principle is weak!
My body is a temple, and honestly, the way I am living life now is destroying my time.
I am a slave to food, and I need to remove the junk that I am eating, just like I send the trash out to the curb.
I must master food, never let it master me.
We all carry a lot of baggage, a lot of trash!
We can either keep carrying the burden, or we can choose to let it go.
I hope you choose the later. That is the choose I am making. It will be a difficult path, but one worth taking!
