Delighted to Delete
Lately I’ve become aware that I’m slowly developing what I call an inner delete button, a little voice that tells me when I’m wasting my time.
I guess it’s more than just a little voice. It’s more like an overall sense of having my energy drained, and when I feel it, I start searching for the source with the intention of eliminating it.
Sometimes I discover the source is a negative thought I’ve been having, a limiting belief I’ve been holding, or a needless and exhausting rule I’ve been following. At other times, I dig around and uncover an old fear that’s been holding me back. And sadly, sometimes I discover the source is a person who seems intent on bringing themselves and everyone around them down a little, if not completely.

It wasn’t easy at first, but I think I’m getting used to hitting that delete button without feeling too much guilt. It hasn’t always been that way.
You see, I’m a pretty nice guy most of the time. I like being a nice guy. I’d never make it as a hard ass and no one would buy it anyway. But I used to be nice at the expense of my own soul and I’ve kind of lost my patience with that. Maybe I just don’t have the energy.
In any event, I guess you could say I’ve started sending a few things in my life to the trash and, to be quite honest, I don’t seem to miss them all that much.
