What Are You Hauling

The summer is a busy time for moving trucks, especially orange and white U-Hauls. People packing, unpacking, moving in, moving out. Sometimes I see several trucks in a day moving throughout the city. 

There is something else that catches my eye when I see a U-Haul. They are not only moving trucks, but a mobile billboard making a life statement. When I see a U-Haul, I think, “You haul.”
  
We haul a lot of baggage around with us wherever we go, from past relationships, painful childhood memories, regret, revenge, self-doubt, and whatever else we pack away in those internal boxes that eat away at us.

Often times I have seen people pack stuff and then throw it away after they move it to the new place because they no longer need it.

We don’t need a U-Haul to know that we are constantly moving. We traverse through experience after experience at slow, medium and fast speed.

Whenever we are ready for our next experience, the right elements are put into place and we go.

The odometer of your consciousness is limitless. If it takes one or several trips (lifetimes) to the same place to learn a lesson, then you get to start a new experience with a new cast of characters and scenery changes.

However exhausted moving makes you feel, you can rest assured that with each move, you are learning. Leaving baggage behind you will make your journey lighter. Making your journey lighter will make you lighter and more flexible.

Tomorrow you won’t be anywhere near where you are today so keep moving. Eventually we all move to infinity and beyond.

What have been your best moving experiences?
