The restrictions that we
impose on ourselvesthrough preconceived
notions of a
logic-based outcome often
render us oblivious to life’s greatest
miracles—the unforeseen gifts of the
universe. Tiptoeing through life, “notting”
yourself into self-defeat—not yet,
not ready, not now, not enough, not sure,
not safe, not known, not comfortable, not
predictable, not definable, not me—will
inevitably lead you toward an existence
of fear-driven compromises, resentment,
anxiety and regret. You can instead, choose
to let go of such self-imposed limitations
and become boundless. Absolute. Free of
such confines. Instead, you decide to embrace
and explore your infinite potential. Creating
rather than reacting.
When I speak of the concept of “letting
go”, I am often assailed and accused
of, “not being realistic”. I
hear all about the realities of people’s
lives and the impossibility of the pursuits
of their dreams. It is they, however, who
are not realistic. The reality is that
they are scared to death! Scared
of relinquishing control of their predictable
lives, scared of change, scared of the unknown,
scared of failing, scared of being laughed
at, scared of the future, scared of the
past, scared of being wrong—and scared
of letting go. Their self-doubt and stubborn
insistence wickedly fuel a self-defeating,
self-fulfilling prophecy. My suggestion?
