“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.”
“There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s thebeginning of a new life.”
“Stand up and walk out of your history.”
Phil McGraw
A dear friend was telling me about her friend’s recent breakup.
“It was difficult, but necessary,” she explained, and she was being a Super-friend by getting all of her friend’s stuff out of storage for her (the stuff was in storage in Boston even though her friend lives elsewhere).
“What does she have in storage?” I asked.
“Silly stuff,” she explained, “stuff she’ll never use.”
Storage rooms/units/buildings have always baffled this Super-mom.
If it’s in the storage unit, do you really need it or want it?
It’s like the clothes that hang in your closet—unworn– year after year, “just in case” you want to wear them one day.
It’s cool how everything in life is a metaphor.
If you’re holding on to feelings or anger or fear, it’s going to be mirrored in your life as stuff in your closet that you never wear, stuff in your fridge or freezer that’s been there forever but never gets eaten, and the classic: the storage unit.
Holding on is holding on, Super-people.
Whether it’s clothes or furniture or knick-knacks or food or feelings, it’s all the same.
So look around in your life and at your life.
Where are you holding on?
Where can you let go a little more?
“But how can I do this?” you ask.
Just get on your yoga mat, set an intention, and breathe.
And feel the relief as you release that which has been holding you back.
Holding you back from your pure potential.
Holding you back from remembering who you are—pure light, love, and joy.
