I’ve been talking about material stuff, but I am now going to talk briefly about our personal stuff, our baggage or the mental and emotional weights that we sometimes carry around. “Back in the Day” Erykah Badu had a hit called “Bag Lady” that also applies to men.
Many people walk around with so much “stuff” in their bags that they can’t take a step forward. They are so focused on their stuff that they can’t see what or who is in front of them. They can’t go on vacation in a paradise of freedom because they haven’t checked their bags into a long-term cabin.
We can’t go on an extended vacation dragging our bags everywhere we go. We hold-on to that stuff that holds us down, holds us back, holds us under and keeps us anywhere but on top, ahead, forward, and on the move. We need to take a permanent vacation and check our bags onto a one-way ticket far away from where we are headed. We’re going to a paradise of peace and freedom, and sorry, stuff, you’re not “coming with!”
