“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.” Glenn ClarkImagine how free we would be if we laid down envy, jealousy, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fear. Each of these is a self-imposed affliction that wounds us and those we come in contact with. When we carry them around, we poison ourselves, becoming a little sicker with every dose. It’s only when we rid ourselves of these afflictions that we can truly move through life with freedom and a healthy sense of self. When we turn them over, we can move toward becoming whole. To travel far and fast we should lay down our weighty burdens; only then can we carry life-giving virtues: sympathy, kindness, forgiveness, generosity, and courage. These virtues will lend us strength and freedom, and they will encourage those around us.Terry Weaver is a reader-supported publication.
