I have written about letting go before, and I will again.\nLoss, and its mother, Grief, are not things we go through and then leave\nbehind. Our lives are a constant, shifting landscape of gain and loss. We are\nwho we are, in part, because of the things we\u2019ve had to endure. None of us get\nto live a long, fulfilled life full of meaningful connections without suffering\nthe loss of some of them. So how do we know when to cut our losses? How do we\ncross the line into giving up the bad we know for the potentially worse\u2014the\nunknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humans have always been scared of the dark. We can\u2019t see what\u2019s there, waiting for us. Danger lurks. We have a loss of control, we feel helpless, even if the light around us is shining down on things we know no longer serve us, or worse, actively harm us. In this week\u2019s Daily Focus, I want to look at letting go yet again and try to see it through a lens of wonder, possibilities, and control over the self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou will find that it is not a one-shot deal, this\nletting go. You must do it again and again and again. It’s kind of like\nbreathing. You can’t breathe just once. Try it: Breathe just once. You’ll pass\nout.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Gordon MacKenzie<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is really the crux of it, and why I keep coming back to\nthis subject. Letting go, loss, grief, all it encompasses; it requires time,\nenergy, and return to focus. This can be hard! But it has to be done. Part of\nself-care and basic body maintenance is making sure you\u2019re dealing with things\nthat need to be dealt with, even if you feel like you\u2019ve done this before. Do\nit again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is beauty in Simplicity. There is power in\nForgiveness. There is wisdom in Letting Go.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Steve Maraboli<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re struggling to find the answer today, the answer\nmight be that there is no answer. Not everything is solvable, no matter how\ngood our intentions or how reckless our work ethic is. Some things are simply\nnot for us to know, or change, or receive. It\u2019s okay to walk away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLetting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about\nsomeone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have\ncontrol over is yourself.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Deborah Reber<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes down to it, letting go, or really, holding on,\nis all about control. We want to shape our reality to meet what our mind says\nit should be, but this is just a recipe for disappointment. Think back on how\nmany of the best moments in your life were unplanned and out of your control.\nTry to think of what you may be losing by knowing the end of the story before\nit\u2019s time to get there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have to unclasp our palms and let go of every\nalternate reality where we\u2019re happier, stronger, brighter because of all the\nthings we did differently. Those universes do not exist. But ours does. And\nit\u2019s okay here, if we open our eyes up and let it be.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Heidi\nPriebe<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, our own ideas and attempts at controlling\nreality can only really hinder us. It\u2019s great to plan for a future, to have\nthat vision board, that wish list\u2014but don\u2019t spend all of your energy in a\nreality that doesn\u2019t exist. You are here, now, just as you are, and worthy of\nattention, love, and time spent on yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLetting go of the past means opening up to the\nfuture, and sometimes the unknown is scarier than the past.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Tamara\nLechner<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s true that the bad we know is often much easier to welcome than the potentially bad we don\u2019t know, but once again, I want to focus on the positive aspects of letting go; of change, opportunity, and new worlds. Every day is a chance to do something new, to break the mold, and start living the life you\u2019ve only dreamed of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood-bye to the past, with its mysteries which would\nnever be fully unfolded.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Iris Murdoch<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the thing we have to say goodbye to is the\npotential\u2014the thing we don\u2019t know. We can spend so much of our time and energy\nsearching for answers, it\u2019s what makes us as humans remarkable, we want to know\neverything.<\/em> But this way lies madness, as there are simply some things\nwe are better off not knowing, or perhaps harder to swallow, we were never\nmeant to know at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are shaped by what we hold on, and we are\nfashioned by what we let go.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> –Sarvesh Jain<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of letting go means looking at what we\u2019re choosing to hold onto. We can let go of the aspects that drain time, energy, and delight from us. But we can also hold onto the things we do get things out of, even if it\u2019s just memories. I try to keep in mind that you don\u2019t have to hate something to leave it behind. It\u2019s okay to walk away with gratitude and fond memories, knowing that the next phase of life is just ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n You have a life purpose. Wondering what you\u2019re meant to do?
