Letting Go.

The thought of making a drastic change to any aspect of your life can be the scariest. When you look back at all of the time you have come up with every “solution” after solution in receiving that something you so desperately push for, but after each push to only find that the wall you are up against hasn’t moved. The persistence, strength, and power has brought you above and beyond your capabilities. Your resiliency doesn’t allow for you to give up.  Though when you find that after all that you could do, didn’t make a positive difference, is letting go not the worst idea?

You tell yourself that there is a greater goal that you wish to reach. One or a few that brings you greater peace, fulfillment, and provides for your greater needs. There are situations where others may be entitled or superior  in setting you back, pushing you in the opposite direction, and controllably imprisoned and stripping you from your best self. Maybe their power comes from a financial advantage. Perhaps an envious one against their views and wants. AS much as we humans keep going and pushing against our odds for what we feel is best for our future, we are not working for the present. Realistically this is where we are unable to see the clear paths we can take now for the latter road, and instead resisting the struggles we are going through trying to get to the place that is not yet available. Our fear comes from the uncertainty of what could come. Our faith can only bring you to what is there now. Each choice will lead you down a path. The best choice for the “now” will lead you down the path to your best future. When we continue to push to force what we feel is the best based on uncertain truths for what we want in the future, we create more struggle and loss of strength, time, and valuable assets. Trusting the process of working its best self out will only lift you to always being your best and bring that out of each of your days.

I know very well and understand the fight of never giving up, the don’t stop won’t stop, and sacrifice until there is gain; attitude. I have always had it. I have always been a fighter for all that I have believed in. The fighting will of goodness. However, when it comes to losing more than what has ever been positively given, the only conclusion is that it doesn’t work. Wen a certain situation doesn’t change no matter what solution and struggle behind it that you have come up with remains the same or negatively shifts you backwards, letting go and making that scary sacrificial change may be the answer you haven’t been listening to all along. I have seen others give a good fight for what was rightfully so. I have personally pushed against some of the greatest resistance for what I morally and justly pushed for, for years. Only finding that there will always be another type of strength that will deplete your strength and power as long as this power is more favored by the wrong and misguided perception of others. When do you know the difference of letting go versus giving up?

Letting go is not giving up once you have given all of your might to what you have been working for. The endless time of sacrifice, the struggle without borders, when the days and nights become one, and when your passions put your senses in overdrive. However, when you are pushing harder than what the position you are in currently in allows you to do, you are losing your strength, peace and self at a declining speed. You fall back harder than where you started and your recovery is much longer than what was necessary if at all.

After all that you have done to bring yourself to another door, you now have to make the necessary drastic change that will allow you to get there. Letting go is not giving up, but the ability to regain your strength and simple ability to open the next door, rather continue to push against the wall you cannot move. The best choices that are necessary for the present time can be some of the hardest, debilitating, and emotional journey’s for one to overcome. Our fear of uncertainty or the multiple paths of “what ifs”, will only bring you back to the very place you are currently standing. Have faith in letting go of the resistance you have been pushing against and see how far this resistance can actually propel you into the future you desire. Do not allow the uncertainty of a choice carry you through further danger. Carry on the best as you can in the present and you will arrive to the very place you wish and are meant to be. When you realize that letting go is not giving up, you will begin to receive the rewards and the very peace you were once losing before. This time it will come back, stay, and your gain will be greater than you could have ever imagined.

You know what is best for yourself and any situation that you may be facing. Don’t allow others to keep you pushing against the resistance and pulling you back in the process. Take the leap in making that drastic change that is only necessary for the only option that you have. Listening to others against your best interest is going against what is best for you. Listen to YOU and have faith in the strength that is within you to always carry you through. Let go of the pressure of others that breaks your abilities and peace. Give in to yourself instead, when it comes to reaching your best future.
