What do we need to do to let it all go?

Why do we feel the need to carry it all around with us?

Why do we walk around bogged down with burdens of our past?

Perhaps some of us don’t know how to let it all go.

Maybe most of us are too afraid to even try.

See, letting go involves a risk of sorts. It’s a process that takes us through layers of ourselves. This process is not one that can be rushed, every aspect holds a key to unlocking our ultimate self. We must acknowledge all of the things we’ve buried deep down inside our subconscious minds. We must be prepared to feel it all over again and recognize the source of our pain.

Awareness of the hurt inside of us, is the key to releasing it forever.

When we see the possibilities of the good ahead, rather than allowing ourselves to be blindsided by the tough times behind, we open the door to our endless opportunity.

The past no longer has any power over us.

We are capable of magical things in this life that we live.

What would we do if someone said they can help us achieve these things?

Are we willing to do what it takes?

Are we willing to walk out on that ledge of uncertainty?

Are we willing to leave our comfort zones?

If our past has caused us pain, we tend to inadvertently set up camp and live in that mind frame—pain and hurt become what we are used to feeling. Unfortunately that sense of suffering eventually comforts us, because that’s all that we’ve ever known.

But that’s not all that there is. Our personal possibilities are limitless.

The truth is, there’s only one thing that stops us from achieving our greatness, and that one thing is our mindset. Well, our stubborn little egos to be exact.

Together we must:

Learn to get out of our heads.

Learn to let go of the baggage that holds us down.

Learn to see things from other people’s perspective.

Learn to forgive ourselves and others.

Learn to live.

Learn to love.

Learn to breathe.

Learn to trust.

The universe is on our side, we just need to learn to listen to its guidance.

It’s constantly working to get us where we are meant to be.

Can we see the signs?

Sit in silence.

Recognize the source of pain.

Accept the past without judgment.

Cry without hesitation.
Listen to the soft guidance from your soul.

Recognize the signs all around, they are there.

Who do you want to be?

What mark do you want to leave on this world?

Where do you want to go in life?

Once we’ve decided that, we can make our future vision our new focus.

Focusing on what we want rather than what has happened to us, in the past, opens our doors of opportunity.

Our minds are the strongest tools we own to build with, let’s use them wisely.

Learn to let go. Meditate, cry, scream, breathe, let’s dance until our feet hurt.

Do what we need to do, to allow anything that doesn’t serve our purpose—fly far, far away.

Love, learn and trust the light, let it be your guide through this often dark world.
