Letting go is such an interesting process and it is one you will become intimately familiar with. You’ll know it when you feel it. You’ll try to find it when you don’t. When you find it again, you will realize that it’s not something you can “chase.” It comes when you stop chasing 🙃
Letting go is the act of not being afraid anymore. When you are not afraid anymore, you are no longer a slave to this world, your mind, or any person. You are free. This is when you become immensely powerful. This is when things start just working out for you.
Letting go is giving up. It is recognizing that you have tried so hard and yet you are still not there. It’s realizing that you are done fighting with life, done fighting with yourself, done fighting with the Universe. Letting go feels so good.
Letting go is a trust fall. You will know you are letting go because it is really scary. By definition. With a trust fall, you do not know that the other person will catch you. When you let go, you do not know that the Universe will catch you. But when you do let go and fall, it is such an exhilarating feeling. And I can promise you, incredible things happen.
As the Lumineers said, “The opposite of love’s indifference.” Escaping is numbing. Escaping makes you feel cold, indifferent, uncaring, dead. Letting go makes you feel alive, hopeful, powerful, passionate, excited.
Again, letting go does not mean “not doing.” It means realizing that flow action is so much more powerful than non-flow action. It means caring about how you feel first and foremost. It means trusting that YOU’RE ALLOWED TO FEEL GOOD, TO FEEL JOYOUS, and everything else will take care of itself in powerful ways. That’s not escaping.
If you feel yourself avoiding and still feeling terrible, numb, or dreading tomorrow, then you’re escaping.
You know there are those people who are just immensely confident? They don’t seem to have any doubt? And they always get the girl/guy/job/thing. They aren’t afraid of not getting it, so it can finally come. They are finally attracting it.
