Yard Sale!

Rummage sale. Tag sale. Yard sale. Garage sale. I’ve heard it called all of these but it all means the same thing, selling all the stuff you don’t want anymore. I’m getting ready for one and as I’m sorting through my belongings it has got me thinking about all the things I don’t want inside my head anymore and would like to get rid of as easily as I can by having a yard sale. What if we could take all our emotional baggage and put it out on the curb and sell it to people who want to buy it? What would you sell?

What if I put all my trust issues out at the curb and put a tag for twenty-five cents on them? Just think! I could invite people into my life without suspicion and just enjoy them. No more wondering when the other shoe was going to drop or when I’d be disappointed by them. I could care for people with my whole heart and not hold anything back.

While I’m cleaning stuff out I’m going to make sure I get rid of all my negativity. No more looking at the glass half empty. From now on, I’ve got a full glass. I can do anything and there’s absolutely no reason why I can’t because I’m awesome and everyone knows it especially the person that I want to know it the most, me!

And you know what? I’m getting rid of the “I’m ugly.” What I keep forgetting is that I’m unique which obviously means that there is no one else like me which obviously makes me the most beautiful me there ever was. Nothing wrong with that. Matter of fact, it’s all right! Why do we forget that we are all masterpieces?

I’m also going to get rid of need. I’m going to get rid of my incessant need to try to fix people. I can’t. Only that person can fix themselves and I can’t do it for them. Therefore, I’m just going to fix myself and by doing that maybe someone else will be inspired by that because in the end, that’s all I can really do anyway.

Now that I have more room in my head, I’m going to put only good things there. What if I have the feeling of Christmas in my heart all year? The desire to want to help someone else and make their life easier or happier is a gift that gives back. I’m going to add in some smiles. I’m just going to smile and say hello or maybe give a compliment to people. I know some people might think I’m nuts or crazy but what about that one person it lifts? Hey, I see some opportunities for random acts of kindness here!
