Since AirAsia decided to enforce on the 7kg carry-on rule (yes, I’m cheap to sky low budget airlines), I’ve been learning to pack light because I ain’t gonna pay extra for checked-in baggage (Heck, I already told you I’m cheap, right?)

But let me tell you, even with my minimalist dress code, spending more on lighter laptops, paying more to have all-in-one devices and multi-purposes travel tools whenever possible, ***packing like is not easy***. I constantly have to be conscious of the things I will buy when I travel. I have to ask myself a couple of times before deciding on a purchase. No impulsive decision, nor spares or just-in-cases.

*You know what these few years of packing and travelling light taught me though?* I have to live my life the same way too.

Which means unnecessary emotional baggages, holding grudges, or promises unfulfilled.

Whatever needs to be said have to be said, what ever I missed the opportunity to say, I just have to be smart enough to spot another chance. I cannot let the weight of guilt haunt my actions.

Whatever someone said to hurt me, I need to digest it, extract the lessons, self-reflect, and move on. I cannot let the weight of anger and bitterness slow me down.

Whatever I said or do to someone, that might have hurt them, I need to be hurry with an apology. I cannot let the weight of procrastination and anxiety stop me from doing what needs to be done, no matter how uncomfortable it is.

Such is a life of packing light. 

*What about you? How do you pack?*

**Mini Motivation** is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads. 

From *Motivation*, we gain ***Inspiration***. From *Inspiration*, we achieve ***Momentum***. And the rest, they say, is history.

Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction. 

***Oh it did?*** Let me know in the comments, and of course an upvote would be a nice motivation for me. :)

Stay awesome!

Yup, basically it's the very same thing you're doing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc all along!

*The only difference?* For once you can earn a nice income on the side!
