Let Go of What's Holding You Back
It was wonderful meeting so many of you on The Energy Bus National Tour this summer. Thank you to all those who came to our events. You made every mile worthwhile.
I have to say, it was a long journey. 30 cites and thousands of miles. Much harder than I thought it would be, but more rewarding too!
At one point on the journey I looked in the rearview mirror and realized I had all this stuff on my bus that I didn't need. Why did I travel with all these bags of useless stuff for so long, I wondered?
I believe every one of us can say the same about our life journey. We hold on to bags that only weigh us down. We simply carry too many bags around with us. For some it’s the bags of "the past” or the bags of disappointment. For others it’s bags of distrust, fear, burden and pain.
The truth is that every one of us has at least one bag that holds us back from greater success, joy, love and prosperity. It holds us back, slows us down, and drains our positive energy—keeping us from the success and life we desire.
You know which bags I'm talking about. I don’t have to tell you what they are. They affect your work, your life and your relationships. Just as I looked in the rearview mirror of my bus and knew which bags needed to go, you can look in the rear view mirror of your life and know which bags need to be left behind.
Then you can do what I did. I didn’t want to drive heavy. I wanted to travel light. So I let the bags off the bus. You can do the same.
As author Max Lucado says, in his amazing book “Traveling Light” you can release the burdens you were never meant to carry.
I remember the moment I let the bags off my bus. I was somewhere past Phoenix driving through the dessert. I found a big trash can and put the bags where they belonged. I got back in the bus with the past behind me and a road full of daylight ahead. A big smile came upon my face. I was now free to enjoy the ride.
I hope you’ll do the same.
