‘Chuck it’ List

'Chuck it' List
You have heard about a 'bucket list'; a list of things a person wants to do before they die. I think an emphasis should be placed on a 'chuck it' list, things a person should give up. Here are some of those thigs:
-
Hurt from others- Trying to make someone pay for your hurt is like asking someone to do your physical therapy for you. You are in charge of your own healing. Forgive and move on.
-
Unrealistic expectations- Trying to get someone to fulfill your expectaions can be as unrealistic as trying to get someone to read your mind. Communicate what you want and if you don't get it, accept the reality and make the best of the relationship.
-
Pleasing everyone- Trying to please eveyone all the time is futile. Give only certain people the oppurtunity to vote in your life and when those people do, really listen.
There are certain things that you should chuck making life a lot easier. This would free up some energy, time, and resources so you could expand the bucket list and live life to the full.
Thoughts to Ponder:
-
How am I giving up hurt from others?
-
What are some unrealistic expectaions I have?
-
To what extent am I trying to please others?
Scripture:
Philippians 3.13 "...one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead"
