White elephant or the suitcase without a handle

My suitcase was the first one to get broken during my summer flights, it gave up somewhere around flight number 7. Well, when I received it broken, I was happy that it made it on time none the less and my complex logistics was not broken at least. It was an old suitcase that did its job well. In Russian there is a saying “a suitcase without a handle” which means something heavy that is valuable but very inconvenient to carry. I found that the closest idiom in English is “white elephant”. As I was thinking about this suitcase and elephant as a metaphor for certain moment of life: it is new year, new beginning, kind of symbolic. What do I want to take with me? Would that broken suitcase be a good sign for some sort of inventorization: what to take with me and what is not needed anymore? I find it useful even from coaching process perspective: review habits and behaviours and think which of those are helpful and which are more of default way of doing things and can be optimized. Do you do “inventorization” from time to time?
