As I read Cheryl Richardson's book Take Time for Your Life for the perhaps sixth or seventh time, I find a theme that is going through my life reverberating in her writing. It is the theme of leaving behind those things that no longer serve you in living your best life now.
As we move up the spiral staircase to our highest, most MaXIMIzed life, we must leave behind those things - ideas, habits, thoughts, people, situations - that no longer serve us. This can be difficult to do, as they are usually a part of our comfort zone, much like Linus' blanket or our child's favorite toy.
As a child puts away those toys he has outgrown, however, so too must we put aside those things that no longer serve to move us up the spiral staircase, and, in some cases, are pulling us down the bannister back toward the bottom step.
What things in your life - ideas, habits, thoughts, people, situations - are hindering you from living your best life now?
