Do Not Be Afraid To Let Go

By

 


We tend to struggle with wrapping our heads around the idea of shedding off parts and pieces of ourselves that we have tied to our existence because without them, who do we become? Sometimes we get so engulfed in the rigid frames of what we imagine ourselves to be and who we want to become that we lose sight of life's essence, to evolve. I think in instances like this, the universe decides to test your ability to let go. This is not a means to destroy your desires but an effort to redirect your perspective from ideas and plans that may limit you. Letting go pushes you towards a space where you're confident being led by a much greater force than your mortal cognizance and trusting that it's plans are much greater than yours. Letting go is an important life skill, essential upon acquisition and resourceful once mastered. 

At its core, letting go liberates us from the weight of attachment, offering a sense of freedom undisturbed by clinging to what no longer serves our journey. The release of these attachments bears a seed for growth. Allowing yourself to step into a new territory encourages resilience as you navigate through uncertainty and adversity, emerging stronger and more adaptable with each step you take forward. There is a great deal of satisfaction that comes off allowing ourselves to grow and evolve through such obstacles. These are critical along the journey, because they equip us with the skills we need for when we finally get to where we desire to be.  

So, how exactly do we let go of attachments? This is a complicated action that requires a load of inner strength and a great deal of acceptance, easier said than done. These attributes don't necessarily bounce off our cognition like a tennis on a racket. Letting go starts when the present reality is acknowledged and accepted. Your current situation may not have lived up to your expectations and resisting this reality by fixating on what it should've been causes self-inflicted pain. Embracing the present moment with all its joys and challenges and surrendering the need to control or manipulate outcomes is crucial for letting go. Instead of resisting reality, learn to flow with it, trusting in the innate wisdom of life as it unfolds.

I think so many thoughts. Here are some them…

Most of my thoughts are good enough to write about. I am satisfied with my development but at the same time I’m my greatest critic. My fear of stagnation drives me, but on some days it’s not enough to conquer the edge to let go and have not a single care. I’m somewhat of a balance between very serious and care free. I cannot depend too much on the unknown, that would drive me crazy, although I know enough to place a good bet on the gainfulness of uncertainty. I’m forging a path in a world of so many possibilities.   Sometimes I get starstruck of what our minds are capable of. The sudden remembrance of all this potential is a driving force to harness as much as I can. Barely an idea of what methodology works best to unleash full potential. However, as long as I keep trying, victory is imminent. I’m destined for change. A tad scary if you ask me. My core beliefs are shaped by a profusion of information introduced to me through multiple systems and life dynamics, and my understanding ...

  Lets circle back to when I started the journey of my blog. I had courage, an enthusiasm so rich if it were a beam of light it would blind any onlooker with its purity.   It came at a time drenched with an undeniable uncertainty of life.   A probable default of my mind not knowing what is next. An idea took form. It grew, forging a path into my subtly crumbling world. Writing my thoughts and feelings down felt so bold and enticing. A rebellion against my circumstances. I needed a voice to unveil what was unravelling in my world. In between phases, letting go and creating room. My intentions were as pure as can be, with adamant hope for a consistency that has built legacies and empires. I kept myself afloat. Uncertainty doesn’t last forever. Like a season it passes, and a new chapter begins. Genesis. One that brings light and greater hope. With this my evolution takes a defined shape. A dream unfolds. Pursuit of who I am to become. The new journey in its right, is rewar...

"Only the pot knows how hot the fire is"

  I learnt about this saying at a relatively unripe stage of my development, which is when I was doing my primary education. I do not reckon I truly understood what this meant in totality at that stage of my life. I wasn’t too keen on establishing a relationship between my encounters and proverbial wisdom back then. Not a lot of events had occurred that could coherently relate to it. It is a well thought out saying, implying that only the person experiencing a situation has true and literal knowledge of how challenging and difficult the situation is.  Thinking about it now, a sense of enhanced understanding has been provoked through my subsequent encounters to present day. A lot of things happen in our lives and every so often there is a social tendency of sharing these occurrences with others. This is done as a means to seek some relief and bonding. My realization with such action is that not always do the people we share our predicaments with understand what it is that is tr...
