When It Is Time to Cut It Out...

"Eliminate what does not help you to evolve."

~Unknown

I am getting my Gall Bladder removed this week.

That's not something I would usually bring into a piece of my philosophical sharing, but in my regular Joyous way, I have found some meaning in the decision. In a phone call with a dear one yesterday as I delivered the news, he exclaimed, "But Mom, it's a body part. Shouldn't you try to find a way to save it?!" That had not occurred to me you see because this 'body part' had become quite annoying and prohibitive to me over the past several days. However, I did ponder his concern in honor of his thought. In his sincerity, he did not have all of the information I did in making my decision.

This little old body part had become a rather big deal in my life.

This 3-inch organ had shown me it had the power to completely incapacitate me when the right conditions existed. I had never had such an experience. After the 'attack' was finished (oh, and it is an all-out attack) I was left exhausted and feeling as though I had just endured a long battle (I had). My very full life does not allow for such complete time stealers to remain present. So, after a visit to the Surgeon, I agreed - the little organ has to go.

We encounter many of these kinds of little monstrous things in our lives, don't we?

It can be a happenstance relationship that becomes fixed and begins to sap your energies. It can be a relationship that has been long a part of you but really isn't vital and now has grown injurious. It can be an activity that you once thought you could control that has now begun to control you. Like the Gall Bladder, they may serve a purpose, and that purpose may appear to be significant. But if they are incapacitating you from being who you were created to be, if they are preventing your evolution,  then they may need to be removed.

Might be time to call a Surgeon - or some other support.

Even the modification required may be worth the loss.

Consult your wisdom then decide.

Cheers.
