Take Out The Trash

By Joe Templin · November 9, 2026 · 1 min read

When God takes out the trash, don’t go digging back through it.

— Amaka Imani Nkosazana

Sometimes we have addition by subtraction.

That client you didn’t get could easily be a pain in the butt you avoid, a psychic vampire that makes you want to just gargle with hemlock because of their narcissistic attitude, maybe a potential lawsuit and nightmare in the future. The person that you sit with and gives you the not good vibes or is just off in the conversation might be the biggest landmine of your life that a guardian angel just steered you away from.

When something is removed from your life for a good reason, don’t go back looking for it because you might find it.
