What treasures are you keeping in your treasure chest? Your mental treasure chest?
Are they something valuable and helpful to you. Will these treasures be something you want to pass on to your children and future generations?
We lived in a century old brick house while the kids grew up. In the attic, the former owners left an old trunk…filled with treasures from days of yore. No expensive treasures, mostly vintage picture albums and pictures of people no one knew or remembered. Was kind of sad in a way…forgotten memories that no one was interested in anymore.
Sometimes we might need to or want to do a mental refresh, a housecleaning of sorts. Seeing what’s in our mind’s attic or basement that’s no longer benefitting us…might need to be tossed or given away. Old habits, old responsibilities no longer yours to deal with, old resentments, anger, jealousies to be removed. Get that treasure chest cleaned out so new sparkly treasures can be stored there…thankfulness, good memories, forgiveness, happy times, new friendships and adventures…things you want to savor and pass on.
Nothing wrong with the treasure chest, it may be old, but it’s still good. Just needs to be revamped with better treasures.
Venture into the attic of your mind. Look at the treasures stored. Make some good decisions and move ahead.
