Let Go
There they are.
The most important words in our language.
You can argue that, “I Am,” used in a healthy and constructive manner without a delusion is a contender….
…but it loses.
We try to hold on to things that we think are precious. We try so hard we don’t even see what the effort to do so is costing us. This is on top of any damage that the item or thought itself is inflicting.
Grudges? Oh yeah. I used to carry around the Ol Grudge Bag. Then, I learned that it was not only hurting me internally but diminishing me whenever I would show it to the outside world. I learned this lesson so well…
…..and then picked up another satchel at the luggage store and carried that one around for as long as the one that I had previously dumped.
It’s OK. It happens. I LET GO of that one too…and I got a good laugh of my learning, unlearning, learning again. It’s made me an expert in the field.
It’s not just grudges. It is behaviors and beliefs (BBs)…BBs that served us as children, aw we were building a business, etc…we needed them. We got attached to them. They are the reason we not only survived but even thrived.
Good on them
But now, what got us here won’t get us to there…that next place. Worse, without the usefulness they once had, they drag us down. We can’t see it. “It’s a part of me. It’s my friend. It’s……” …STOP! Stop right there.
It’s a limitation now. “If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them.”
What are you holding on to that is well past it’s expiration date? Do you even know? Do you need help? Do you need Permission To See Things Differently so you can identify what is going on? It could be slightly holding you back to hog tying you down.
Talk to me. I have some permission to grant you. Permission To See Things Differently.
