Carrying Bags of Baggage
Thursday, January 17th, 2008The story is told of two monks walking through the countryside. As they pass through a village, they see a woman in a beautiful kimono crossing a muddy street. The first monk quickly picks her up and carries her across the mud. They continue walking, and five hours later the second monk can’t resist and asks, “Why did you pick up that woman when we are not supposed to do things like that?” The first monk responds, “I put her down five hours ago. Why are you still carrying her?”
How much are you limiting yourself with baggage from the past? Release your past mistakes, take responsibility, and create value in the now.

Travel with less baggage and your not only travel lighter and arrive sooner…but you most likely will show up with more friends as well. ~ Kirk Weisler
