It’s summer - and for many of us, summer includes travel and vacations.

Whether you’re traveling by car or catching a flight, one of the first things you have to do is to decide what to pack! Now, a lot of times, I start out strong planning what to take with me by how many days I’ll be gone and what I’ll be doing. But, if you’re like me, packing is hard because of all the “what ifs” that start to creep in.

So, what do we do??

We just start grabbing things and throwing them in the suitcase “just in case.” We pack every pair of underwear we own for our 4-day trip - just in case. We even throw in things we haven’t worn in months - just in case. Please tell me I’m not alone here. 

And I want you to think of what that suitcase starts to look like. Now, all the sensible things that we packed ends up buried beneath the “just in case.” It’s harder to get the suitcase closed, things aren’t as organized, and what you need is harder to find or to get to.

It’s kind of like that game, I’m Going on a Trip - you know the one. Where you pack an antelope, a brush, a cantaloupe, a dog…etc. You get there, and you have a bunch of stuff that you don’t need, that you never needed to carry around with you.

The next year of your life is like that suitcase, and that’s what I will talk about in today’s podcast. 

You have the opportunity, right now, to decide what your suitcase is going to look like in one year. 

You’ll decide all the things that need to be packed because they fit your plan, your vision.

And you’ll decide what you need to bring along just in case.

In the end, you’ll evaluate whether you really need that antelope, cantaloupe, or firefighter - are they worth the baggage charge??

It’s my hope that, as you listen today, you’ll be able to plan a true and authentic vision for yourself. One where life feels good and you feel a sense of peace and ease. 

So, let’s get to it!!
