Recently I was sitting in an office that had a beautiful saltwater fish tank. (See the photo of it to the left) There were tropical fish with neon yellow, green, blue, red, and white scales. The bright lavender and pink coral was vibrant. One of the employees fed the fish by placing what looked like big balls of lint into the tank. As the balls descended, chunks and pieces began to break off—kind of like a asteroid breaking apart as it falls to earth or snowflakes drifting down from the sky. I sat and stared, noticing flakes continue to swirl around in every nook and cranny of the tank. I realized that if it weren’t for the powerful filter, the fish tank would soon be covered with the “dust” of the fish food. It would eventually build up and the delicate eco-system that keeps these fish alive would eventually fail.
This is what it’s like with clutter. If we don’t de-clutter and purge things out once in a while, we risk our mental and emotional space breaking down-- causing us to lose our focus and miss out on really living the lives we want. The process of organizing is a lot like the filter of that fish tank.
I encourage you to “filter” through one of the spaces of your life today! You’ll feel much better afterward!
