Letting go is not giving up. Letting go is surrendering any needless attachments to particular outcomes and situations.
Surrender means showing up in your life with the intention to be your best, and to do the best you know how, without expecting life to be ideal.
Have goals, have dreams, take purposeful action, and build solid relationships, but detach from what life must look like every step of the way.
The energy of someone aspiring to create something wonderful today, teamed with a healthy balance of surrender, is far more effective than someone determined to create outcomes with a desperate must-have mentality.
Surrender brings inner calmness, awareness, and understanding. And lest we forget that our outer lives are a reflection of our inner state of being.
Thus, take a moment to remind yourself of some heavy things most of us attach to long after it's time to let go, so you can loosen your grip on them as you move forward...
Everything gets a bit hard and uncomfortable when it’s time to change. That’s just a part of the growth process.
Things will get better, one step at a time. And keep in mind that your effort is never wasted, even when it leads to disappointing results.
Effort always makes you stronger, more educated, and more experienced. So when the going gets tough, be patient and keep going. Just because you are struggling does not mean you are failing.
Every great success requires some kind of worthy struggle to get there.
