About This Quote

The lack of mindfulness often makes us carry the unnecessary possessions, stale ideologies and rotten relationships along, which unnecessarily clutter our lives and consciousness, and stagnate our growth. When we take a step back, we can see things in a clearer perspective. In this quote, Thich Nhat Hanh is warning against carrying any unnecessary weight. There is no need to carry around the baggage of outdated ideologies or people who have been so negative about you that you feel them dragging you down. Look at your life from a distance and decide if your thoughts, beliefs and actions are moving you forward or holding you back.
