There are two aspects in discard, discard good things and discard bad things.
The reason that you have to discard good things in your life although counterintuitive is that with your limited time and capability, you can not keep all the good things in your life. As I mentioned earlier, you have to focus on something you value the most and make full use of that. Keep other good things can only distract you and you are wasting the other good things. Of course you can improve your ability to appreciate more good things, nevertheless, it critical to keep in mind that your time is limited.
The reason the discard bad things is obvious, and every one knows. But we need to discard the bad thing aggressively the second we notice that it is bad. Bad product, bad fruits, bad habit, bad relationship, bad attitude and so on so forth. I noticed my procrastination on discarding bad things today, as if there might be something good in it and subconsciously hope someday I can correct the bad thing and make good use of the potentially good portion in it, which I noticed today I never did. That’s just funny.
