Questions/Topics:

Cut out that which is dead and pour into that which has life so it can grow:
Getting rid of  the stuff that holds us back and no longer serves us just makes sense. Pouring into something that is not pouring back into us exhausts our energy.... and our energy is finite; we only have so much to give. 

If you take the time to evaluate, you may notice area of your life where you are giving to entities that can't or won't give back to you. Seriously, this could be the split-ends of your hair, old clothes from your closet, toxic friends on Facebook, a job, an organization, a relative, or a vice. Cutting off that which is weighing you down takes courage and practice. For some, it requires overcoming the fear of loss, and that's real. However,  when you do shed the "dead weight", the results are  soul-freeing. 

Something that might help is the way you think about it. Rather than shedding dead weight think of it as making space in your life for what you truly want.

Quotes:

Some things we may want to hold on to but they might be dead and lifeless and not serving us. When you cut those things out... when the dust blows over and you get to the rebirth you find that your life is light and bouncy. -  Dr. El

If it's not serving any purpose it is weighing you down. - Dr. El

 

I've reached the age where I know what I want, I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody. I'm tired of doing stuff I don't want to do. I refuse to do it anymore. - Twanda

 

I've gone through that transition too. The older I've gotten, it's like, If I don't want to do I don't want to it. I just say I'm not interested.  - Rhumel

[Earlier in my life saying I wasn't interested] was the hardest thing to say because I didn't want to disappoint people. I didn't want them to think I was mean. I had to learn that I was a priority in my own life. -Rhumel

No is a complete sentence. #LeaveMeAlone - El
