Old relics in outlives can be just taking up space. Tonight I went with my mother to an estate sale. They had lots of really pretty antiques for sale. The couple had decided to downsize their big house and get a 900 square foot condo on the beach. So all of their very expensive furniture was up for sale because they just didn't want to move it all. They were moving into a new phase in their lives and no longer needed certain things.New phases in our life can be scary and many times there is a tendency to hold on to the things of the past. Instead of doing that this is a time in your life that you should embrace change and make the most of what you can do to change your life for the better in the months and years to come.When we move into a new phase in our romance we don't need certain things anymore. This doesn't mean these things are bad in and of themselves. They just no longer fit us and our needs anymore. Sometimes they are better suited for people other than ourselves.This is all about being ourselves. I cannot sit here and make a list of the things that you should put in your "estate sale" but I can tell you if you are doing things that don't fit your personality anymore, just because you have always done them, then that might be something you should consider passing. Don't hold on to things that are just going to be dead weight in your life and hold you down or keep you from making great successes.Life is always going to be about change. Nature changes we go through four changes a year with her and many small ones in between is it not natural to change? It is, but we make it so difficult. Learn to ride the waves of change and enjoy the view while you have it. Things will change and before you know it something you hated, you might find yourself missing.Get ready because life will throw you some extreme curveballs. It won't give you much notice. Like the couple I mentioned sometimes it is best to travel light. Learn to be yourself in your relationships by setting aside the things that don't go with your al personality.
