Let Go of The Heavy Burden - Let Come Your Life That Wants To Unfold

Once you realize that the universe is able and WILLING to give you want you need, who you need, when you need it and what it gives to you will fulfill all of your needs (not some of your needs, but ALL of your needs)  there is no longer any worrying about the future or regretting the past.  You can live in the now.  Now, is really is all there is. This present moment really is a wonderful moment.  This moment, right here, right now.

Letting Go is a Relief

Haven’t you experienced that when you let go of something that, or someone who “seemed” so hard (impossible even)  to let go of that when you finally do, it is a relief.  It is like a burden that you were carrying around with you that was so

Heavy Burden

unnecessary.  Just imagine carrying a heavy load on your shoulders that is weighing you down.  Then you realize that all you have to do is to put the heavy load down on the ground then you can move on more freely and at ease.   You wonder why you felt it necessary to  “hold on”  or “keep probing up” the familiar that wasn’t working for you and was completely out of alignment with what you needed or wanted.

No matter how many things, people or places you’ve learned to let go of, letting go it is still a process that takes practice.

Just Let Life Happen – Stop Struggling

Just let life flow and let things come to you that are meant for you. Be in alignment with what the universe wants to give to you.  Don’t struggle and go against the grain of the flow of life.  Life really isn’t a struggle.  You may think that it is.  It might be difficult dealing with people, family , friends, and loved ones but in the final analysis life is what you make it to be.  Life is really a gift to you, to experience life.  Just stop. Just breathe. There are people all over the world that are being asked to leave this earth and they would give anything for another day to breathe, to love and to live.  If you are reading this you are still alive and you have another moment.  Just breathe in and breathe out.  Feel how it feels to be in your body.  Appreciate that!

How Will You Know When You Need To Let Go?

When you start releasing the load and things start to unfold, people come that wouldn’t have come otherwise, someone emails you that you haven’t heard from in years, things happen that show you the way, a picture starts to unfold on the blank canvas, and the fog clears.  All that holding on to what wasn’t for you or who wasn’t for you dissolves and you know that letting go and living in the present moment is all there is and you’re using the keys that have unlocked the pathway to living a joyful life  – which is your natural state and you feel wonderful and grateful just to be alive.

 

Letting Go Is A LifeLong Process

So…you’re learning how to let go – congratulations…

Maybe you can chalk up many past success stories of letting go BEFORE you have to.

Most everyone has let go of something/someone, but it’s usually AFTER they HAVE to let go, and have held on TOO long.

But…maybe you’re a pro at it (or think that you are) because you  have been doing it over the years.

You’ve mastered letting go…right?

Well… there’s good news and bad news…

Good News…Keep up the good work, because you’re on the right track now.

Bad News…Some of the stuff from the track that you were on, may come back at you like a freight train out of nowhere!

You can’t run away from your past.

It’s a part of you. It’s makes you who you are.

You have to come to terms with your past decisions, actions, and the repercussions from those actions.

It could be things that you’ve done, said, covered-up, forgotten about that are still lingering on because although you’ve let go and  moved on, it’s still in you, and in your thought patterns.

The ripples effects of your actions are still in the universe and might reverberate back to you.

Maybe someone says something, doesn’t say something, looks a certain way that makes you remember that thing, person, place, or thought that you’ve already let go of. It takes you back.  It KNOCKS you back.  That’s okay.  Just know that it’s okay.

Deal with whatever comes up, take a look at it, talk about it if you have to,or  if you find someone who can understand this journey that you’re on. Just know that it’s something else that you have to let go of.

In order to let go of some lingering things you might have  to make amends, apologize, make a phone call, find the person you need to talk to in order to truly let go.

Once you feel that thing (Oh no! What is this? I thought I’d dealt with this!) come back up…don’t ignore it, just deal with it.

Just suspend it out in front of you and see what you need to do next.

Don’t judge yourself.

Don’t be hard on yourself, because you thought you’d dealt with ALL the issues surrounding whatever it is.

Just suspend it in front of you and be grateful for the fact that it’s come up.

You needed it to come up.

Sometimes we want it to go away. Just ignore it.  We might be looking for that person to make it better, someone who will listen to our story.  Sometimes that person is there and sometimes they aren’t.  Sometimes there is really no one who can truly understand.  Not right at that current time. You realize that you need to be there for yourself and help yourself figure it out.  That’s okay too, because it is y-o-u-r journey.  No worries.

When this happens it does make you look at exactly where you are today.

If nothing else it makes you not be satisfied with what you’ve let go of in the past.

It is clear that you have to live your life now, in the present moment.

You know that there is more work to be done, there’s more progress to be made, and more to let go of.

Why?  Because there is more to come!

Don’t rest on your laurels, because you caught the big Merlin 10 years ago.

Today is today…what do you need to let go of today in order to let come the future that wants to emerge? (It might just be some residuals of something from 10 years ago that found it way back into your awareness…it is okay…keep going!)

Just Quit Ignoring What You Know You Need To Do

More than half the time we KNOW what we need to do.  Our intuition tells us what we need to do,  where we need to go, what we need to say, what or who we need to let go of.

But…we just don’t want to accept what we KNOW we need to do.  We argue with ourselves. We second guess ourselves.  We think “maybe” things aren’t “really” that bad. We think “maybe” we’re being too rash or harsh or mean or judgmental.

Just Do It!

So what do we do?  We go against what we KNOW we need to do.  Why do we do that?  Because usually what we need to do requires change, and change is hard.

But…no matter what… change is going to come.  The more we realize that we can be a part of the change process and we can help co-create our future, things start to shift. It’s not so scary anymore making the hard decisions and doing what we KNOW we need to do. We begin to see  more clearly that what is… may not be… all that there is.  This isn’t new. We already know this.  We already know from past experiences or current situations how not going ahead and doing what we know we need to do impacts us:

• You hated your boss. You hated your job.  You dreaded waking up in the morning.  What did you do?  You stayed on.  You were scared of moving on (for one reason or the other).  What happened?  Eventually something changed, but maybe not the way you wanted it to.   The company downsized and you got laid off, or you had to take on m0re work because you were one of the one’s who didn’t get laid off.
• You had outgrown your spouse.  You felt stuck in a miserable marriage.  You hated coming home.  You knew somebody needed to leave.  You knew separation was inevitable, it was just a matter of when, not if.  What did you do?  You stayed.  You were afraid to move on.  What happened?  Things got a lot worse and the break-up was horrible for everyone involved.
• You’ve lived in the same town your whole life.  You’ve visited other places, but not lived any other place.  You’ve talked to people who had left their hometowns and they now talked about how “small” it seems to them.  You regret never having left.  You felt like you wanted to leave, but couldn’t see a path forward.  What did you do?  You stayed.  You were afraid to leave your hometown.  What happened?  You’re still there, feeling like you’ve missed out on something or feeling like a failure whenever you have to talk to people who’ve left and come back home to visit.
• You’ve work for someone else your entire career.  Well, maybe you’ve done some small stuff on your own, but nothing on the level that you’ve dreamed. You’ve got great ideas (but who doesn’t).  You’ve got the education and the credentials to do your own thing. You look at others who’ve stepped out on their own and wonder how on earth they could have done it and you’re still stuck getting a paycheck.  You just sit back and wonder what the hold-up is.  Guess what?  You’re the hold-up.  You’ve been afraid to get started (and not just the go down get the business license, buy the business cards, write the business plan stuff — 20% of folks can and have done that) it’s the actual hitting the pavement,  making things happen, making money, and making a difference.

Most of us have been in one of the above situations, or something similar.

Your time has come. Stop waiting on it.   It’s your time to realize who we are, why you’re here and get on with what you KNOW you need to do.

Just keep moving towards what you KNOW you need to do. There is something inside of you that already knows. Trust it. Believe it and move forward.  NO ONE can tell you what to do.  NO ONE can tell you when to do it. NO ONE can live your life for you.  This is your life.  Make it your life.  Don’t live the life people think you should live.  Don’t live someone else’s life.  One day you’ll wake up and wonder –What the heck?  Is THIS my life? What’s going on? Who am I?  What am I doing?  Don’t wait too late to just quit doing what isn’t working.  Do what you know needs to be done in just one situation in your life and you will have the courage to live the life that you’ve imagined.

Just listen — get quiet — be still  — and listen

You KNOW What You Need To Do.

Now DO it!

 

 

Just Quit Making New Year's Resolutions That Are All About Yourself

Why are you unhappy?

Because 99.9 per cent

Of everything you think,

And of everything you do,

Is for yourself —

And there isn’t one.

 *From Wei Wu Wei – Taoist Philosopher*

Just Quit Allowing Others to Hurt You Over and Over and Over Again

” Whatever You Are Willing To Put Up With,

Is Exactly What You Will Have.”

~ Dr. Robert Anthony

Is there someone in your life that you know for sure

that you need to Let Go of?  

It might be hard to actually do it,

but can you at least acknowledge it today?

How many times are you going to allow one person to hurt you?

Is once enough? (Of course not.  Maybe it was an innocent mistake.)

Is twice too many times? (Okay, it’s not a mistake, it’s on purpose.)

What about three times? (A pattern is developing.)

How many times will you turn the other way?

How many times will you pretend it didn’t happen?

How many times will you act like it’s okay.

(You’re not really hurt.  You’ll get over it.)

How many times will you talk yourself out of walking away so this person can’t hurt you anymore?

Of course, you could be wrong.  Your perspective could be off. You could be overreacting.

When you are certain that you can not accept or live with the behaviors of others and how it impacts you, then it’s time to Let Them Go.

If you know in your heart that long-term you can not accept how they treat you

  — STOP—-THINK—-

it’s just a matter of time before you have to face the facts.

Of course, you think things are going to change

What makes you think things are going to change?

You HOPE things are going to change.

HOPE is a good thing, but sometimes hope is just wishful thinking (be honest with yourself right now – you know it is).

You think it’s so hard to start over with a new relationship.

You think you’ve come so far with this person.

You think you won’t find anyone else who understands you as well.

But, you know that in all relationships there are

beginnings,

the middle

and endings.

Relationships are like stories.

You know that relationships change.

You know that sometimes that change is an ending.

You might not remember,

but you’ve probably been here before in a relationship,

so you know that you will survive.

 

Just Quit Thinking Your Situations are Impossible

This marriage is impossible.

Paying these bills are impossible.

Finding a job is impossible.

Raising these teenagers is impossible.

Starting a company is impossible.

Losing weight is impossible.

Saving money is impossible.

Finishing college is impossible.

Forgiving others is impossible.

Keeping the house clean is impossible.

Finding time to get it all done is impossible.

Solving all the problems in this country is impossible.

Figuring out who “God” is – is impossible. 

If it were impossible then – it– would– NOT– be– possible–

under any circumstance.

Honestly, are many or any of these everyday “circumstances” really impossible?

Didn’t you think other things that were hard seem impossible too?

Didn’t they work out?

Maybe it was not easy or quick or solvable the way you wanted them to be, but they weren’t impossible.

Moving from

Impossible

to I’m Possible:

1. Accept What Is and Be Grateful For What Is

2. Decide that it is Possible because of the I’m in Possible

 3. See Opportunities from the I’m Possible Vantage Point

Let Go of “Impossible”

Free Yourself
