“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor-it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.”

Peter Walsh

Clean up, tidy up, pick up your things.

It seems like such an odious task.

To wipe, to mop, to clear up dirty things.

Why should I even do it? You often ask.

I will just have to do it again.

Why waste my time on this task?

But if we don’t clean, the mess just gets worse.

The bugs and smells invade.

The rot, the stench, the decay.

So it is essential to clean, to wash the dirt away.

When something is clean, renewal can start.

The surfaces, the walls, the floors are pristine.

To start the process all over, the art of cleaning.

Life is much like cleaning.

We need to address the soils, the dirt and dusty circumstances of life.

Scrub off the layers of dust and dirt off your soul and spirit.

Make the slate clean. Don’t let the mirky bits pile up.

Take time to clean your inner self.

Give yourself a break. Make this a gift to your present and future self.
