If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. "Glen Clark"

As we push our heavy square rocks up the hill of life, many times it is important to travel light. We have all seen Hollywood depict this concept with an airplane full of people escaping danger only to find the plane is too heavy.  They begin to throw things off the plane until they have lightened the load. Dramatically, they may even throw off a fellow passenger.

Its always surprising to look at this quote and see the heavy baggage that may be slowing us down in our quest for greatness. Its not stuff that we have acquired, its those things that make our hearts heavy and our minds full of thoughts that take us off our focus.  Things like envy, jealousy, grudges, selfishness and fear. Be honest, we all carry some or all of these weights each day as we push toward success. Throwing off these weights will empower you to move faster each day and clear your mind to focus on the task at hand, not the negative thoughts they may contribute to your failure.

Only YOU know the heavy baggage you need to throw off to travel and faster and lighter. Success requires a single minded focus on the rock you are pushing today.  There is no room for the baggage of envy, grudges, jealousy, or fear.  Great is the man who can see their own baggage and be able to leave it at the bottom of the hill as they push towards success. Pity the man who proudly retains these weights for he may be the one thrown off the airplane the next time a "weight" problem develops.
