Today’s Motivated Monday post comes on Tuesday. Motivation doesn’t take a day off!
“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.”
― C. JoyBell C.
There will come in time in each of our lives when we will have to let go. Let go of a relationship, of a friendship, of a job or worse, of a dream.
Loosening your grasp on something you once held so dear is not easy. And at times it can feel like you’ve had your hopes and dreams ripped from you. But letting go and knowing when to let go is probably our minds (and bodies) best defense.
The things we want are not always the things we need. Learning and understanding this is one of life’s biggest lesson and a part of “growing up.”
Personally, I’ve had to let go of plenty of things. It never gets easier to let go but it does begin to make more sense. Letting go of the things that are not working or making us happy, leaves an open pathway. And having faith that that pathway will be filled with goodness is our only job.
Let’s not lament the things we have to leave behind. Instead let’s look forward to the things that will come in their place.
Stylish Thinkers, what have you had to let go of recently? How did you manage? Please share.
Hmm, I have let go (and have to remember to let go) of control. I am always trying to figure out what the end result will be of situations I truly want to go in my favor. That can be selfish I know, to always feel you can mold the ‘end product or result’ before you’ve satisfied the journey. I recently wrote a friend a note when she was changing careers, “to always approach the world with both hands open”. I knew subconsciously that message was intended for me.
