What in your backpack?

What in your back pack?


Everyday we will pack our backpack with stuff that we want to bring with us to went through the day.. Then the next morning maybe we will pack it with different things that need to fit the purpose of the day..

How about our life? Let us imagine, if we want to pack with an empty backpack. Let's start with something small (ID, journal, books, cards), then we stuff it clothing and shoes, maybe after that, we also want to bring our laptop, notebook, even the desktop. If possible, we also want to bring our bed, table, even the house.. then after we stuff all that in the beg, pick it up, put it on your shoulder then try to walk with it.. It make us impossible to walk with all that.. We cannot bring all things in our lives.. Sometimes we have to let go some of the stuff.

This situation similar if we stuff the backpack with relationship. We want to stuff it will all the people that we care about. Maybe 1st we want to put our parents, family, love one in the beg first, then out friends and colleagues.. When we done, zip the backpack and try to walk with it.. relationship is the heaviest things in our lifes..

Like the backpack, we cannot bring all of them into our life. At the same time we don't want to abandon anybody or anything.

What happen if we light the backpack with all the stuff in it with fire? and restart all over again. It may do the trick, with all the previous problem goes away and we can start all over again without no need to worry about anything in the past.

With the brain given to us, we must plan ahead and pack the backpack with the things that we need the most to go through out the day. If we can manage it well and we can give commitment to things we do, we may lift our backpack and enjoy the life. On the other hand, if we pack it with the right stuff without our commitment in it, rather it's better to let it go then using the right tools but with wrong purpose.

Maybe it's better to a simpler life without any restriction. Let's think about it. It's all about the right decision we make and ahead planning toward the goal in life.


may we enjoy our life till the end..stay happy, avoid misery.
