What would I do if I lost all my possessions? It might not be a bad thing. Wait a minute before you start calling me ‘crazy’. Let me give you some things to think on.
Possessions are those things that we own or control. Items that belong to an individual solely. With owning something or controlling it comes responsibility and with responsibility comes work. With work comes time and stress mostly. So, that reason alone is enough to answer questions concerning my mental take, but I will give you more.
The truth is we own nothing really. If you have a home unless you have the deed saying paid in full, the bank or financial institute owns it. You are merely the manager to put it nicely, the groundskeeper is more like it, but we will stick with manager to make you feel better. If the manager doesn’t fulfill their duties such as paying the mortgage monthly, a new manager will be appointed. Understand? You own nothing so losing this possession just may be a blessing. Freedom just might happen in your life without the weight and stress of meeting certain demands. I understand we must have a place to lay our heads, but possessing such could be a disaster if you cannot afford it. Stay within your means.
Another possession or some say would be a mode of transportation. Many need this if public trsnsportation isn’t available, but if so, unless you own it, it belongs to another. So, possession? I think not. If so, keep it until the wheels run off. This will help ease some stress in your life. Unless you are one who thinks how you look to others by what you drive matters then I cannot help you. That thinking has to be resolved deep down in ones own soul.
Ask yourself, ‘What things do I really possess’? In so doing you just may find the answer is not that much if anything. How can losing nothing or not much cause you any concern?
Now, there are things sentimental that you might possess and for those items let me say this. No one else wants them. Those only matter to the one possessing them and if those are lost you still have the memories. Memories are a hard thing to lose.
Memories are possessions no one else can take. They are solely yours. Maybe some of these would be better off lost. Hmmm?
