Picture yourself on a long trek: you start walking, carrying a backpack on your shoulders. It's fairly full because you thought of bringing as many 'useful' things you believe you might need. After walking a long distance, you start feeling the heaviness of your backpack. You are tired, your feet are aching, but you still want to walk. So you decide to discard some of the less 'useful' things to make your burden lighter. An so it is. Feeling relieved, you proceed on your path. As you now realize that there are many more items that you don't need, you drop them as well. Your step becomes faster and easier because your backpack has become lightweight. Now imagine such trek to be your life. Wouldn't such life be much lighter, easier, less stressful if you were willing to make a choice about what you really "need"? If you did, you might see that many worries, fears, negative feelings, superfluous assets and worthless relationships are perceived as unnecessary through the clear light of awareness. And you would probably want to make some adjustments.
