Getting rid of what does not support you

Many people forget that the key and goal of transformation is to let go of what holds you back. Often what holds you back is referred to as ‘garbage.’ Transformation is not about making a better home for your garbage. Spending long sessions talking about garbage, analyzing garbage, sharing garbage or seeking support for holding on to garbage, simply adds to the garbage. The biggest trap when seeking support for getting rid of garbage is to try to share and be accepted for the weight and importance of your garbage. Sometimes, it is a rude and disappointing shock that people do not want your garbage when it is offered. More often than not, those that do accept your garbage, have their own to share in exchange.

Remember what you came to do. The easiest and most direct way of dealing with garbage is to throw it out. Really. What holds you back is not your heart talking, it is the garbage.

Unfortunately the garbage i.e., your emotions, want to talk and share, and so talking about them may not be the best choice of action. Remember that emotions are like feelings without will. Being caught in expressing emotions, sharing them, analyzing them and so forth, does little good, unless the will is re-introduced. Therefore, as a starting place, use your will — and throw out all of the garbage!
