"A rusty nail placed near a faithful compass, will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy."
Sir Walter Scott
We spend a lot of time in our lives thinking about things to add to it. More things to be, do and have. Goals to achieve, things to acquire, skills to learn etc.
But I think it is equally important to get rid of stuff in our lives. Things (in the broadest way this word can be used) that get in the way, burden or hinder us on our journey.
In each of our lives there exist rusty nails that cause our compass to swing off course. Rusty nails that have long since served their purpose or worse, have been tolerated, and need to be discarded. As you plan for the New Year and dutifully make your resolutions, find a way to discard those rusty nails that divert you from your true path. Free up some space in your life...then there will be room for something wonderful to show up.
