Inspiration & Paradox 10: Carrying unwanted baggages in life

It is amazing what we hold on to in life. We prefer the old to the new, the expected to the unfamiliar. We stick to wrong behavior pattern that we know can jeopardize our relationships with others. We cling on to past hurts and disappointments even though we know they can poison the wells of our inner spirit. We allow ourselves to dwell in unhappy memories and live in past glories that hinder us from looking forward. No wonder the famous St Paul said, "For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing."
We need to let go of the past and all the emotional baggage so that we can travel light, make good inroads into places we have never been before and be where we are meant to be.
