How much does your life weight?

lmagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack.
l want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them?

Now l want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers, the knickknacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. Then you start adding larger stuff, clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, linens, your TV.

The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now.

And you go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house, l want you to stuff it all into that backpack.

Now try to walk. lt's kind of hard, isn't it?

This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis.We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move.

And make no mistake, moving is living.
