Less, not more

We often think about what to add.

What new things are necessary? What is missing in the plan? What other goals should be on the list?

But equally, if not more, important is what to subtract.

What goals must I remove? What stuff has cluttered the space? What bad habits must I shed? What unhelpful assumptions must I leave behind? What resentment must I let go?

When we remove the baggage that no longer serves us, we make room for what’s important.
