Letting go...of her, him, it, them, they, a situation, a job, a circumstance...any way you slice it, letting go in any capacity is never easy...
Fear sets in, all the what ifs, the wonderment and desire to try again...measures up to nothingness. Especially when you've tried repeatedly and failed. I once heard it that the definition of insanity is to try to do the same thing over and over again, yet coming up with the same result. Are you in this repetitious cycle of nothingness??
You tell yourself that there isn't enough security... or that the grass may not be greener on the other side...so you constantly find a reason (or a million) to stay where you are. Complacency...its dangerous and unhealthy. When you walk in complacency, you give up on self. That means you forfeit the ability to blame others for your situation or circumstance because you decided to side with minimum risk and maximum comfort. Sometimes discomfort is necessary to grow...to thrive...to live. And its not always left up to YOU to decide what is the right amount of discomfort...sometimes things are greater than you...
And because things may be greater than you, sometimes it takes an extra push to get you to move your feet, and nature, the powers that be, or God may have to step in to make things happen. And if you are attentive, you will be awaken out of your complacency in the most unexpecting ways...but if you're attentive, the means will justify the end...and you will reach that "awakening" moment and realize its time to turn the page.
And if your blessed enough to have people in your life who love you even when you don't love yourself enough to let go, their voice will seem louder than ever in your ear, confirming the time has come to let go...you have a choice to listen or ignore, but don't start to question why that special person(s) has become distant or non existant if you choose to ignore....sometimes you can push those you love away from you if you side with complacency rather than let go...you may be a hindrance to yourself or the fruitful potential of relationships in your life.
Your days may seem long and drawn out, your nights may be restless, and your thoughts stuck...stuck in the cycle you have created...wondering what why and when things are gonna change, when in reality, you have the power to change it all, by letting go. This path leads to a miserable existence. And who wants to be miserable in life. Why be miserable when there is so much to do, see, experience, and remember about our short time on Earth? Why chance these opportunities because what you have is more comfortable than the unknown, the unfamiliar, but so desired?
When all points in your life, all significances in your existence, point to the necessity for change to take place...why go against it? All it will do is leave you miserable, unfulfilled, and a bunch of negative energies and thoughts, and last but not least, alone.
Suggestion: Write down that which you fear about letting go...then write down all that you could possibly gain from letting go. Next, pray about it, then meditate....then listen to the voice within your gut. The voice that you may have been ignoring, the voice that may have been whispering for some time, but your cyclical thoughts had silenced...just listen. Often times we tell ourselves more than we give ourselves credit for. No one knows you better on this Earth than you. And most of the time, if we are attuned to ourselves, we know it too, we just don't listen. Once you've done all this...the hard part is done already...
The final step....LET GO. And move on...the best is yet to come.
Its not going to be easy at first, no. Nothing in life that's worth having is going to come easy. But easy will come. Just be consistent...you owe it to yourself...stick with it. You'll see...things will fall into their proper place...its the way nature goes...and to think, it all started, when you decided to let go...
I dare you....
Peace and Blessings
