We recently had house renovation done at my place. It was an amazing experience. I was more of a spectator than actual doing the dirtying of hands work. I had an extremely strong realisation of the amount of clutter we had created in the house. We are just 4 of us living ,but the clutter was definitely more than 4 people can create together. There was so much junk in the house.We collectively decided to discard everything that we dont NEED at this point in time. Anything 'useful' from the future perspective or anything that was kept as a 'fondness' of the past was removed.I realised the attachment to comforts , the attachment to memories ,attachment to things ,attachment to future.
The more my mind is cluttered with attachment ,the more it shows in the physical space around me .I became aware of my habit of dumping things to be thrown later ,which is also the case when dealing with my thoughts. I just dump thoughts aside to be able to deal with them later.This has made my memory filled with a lot of junk.
Unfortunately any conversations like these are termed as 'philosophical' ,but for me I realised that if i really want to deliver solutions as a Business Analyst I need to get rid of the clutter of my memory.At the same time it does not mean to not have luxuries of life or all the pleasures of life. What it means for me is to enjoy the pleasures without getting attached to the enjoyment as well as the sadness of pleasure.
I am really really thankful to God for giving me such an awesome space.A physical space as well as the space of my mind !!
