Learn to let go of the old to make room for the new.
We are taught all our lives to hold on.
Most of the time it’s out of fear. But when you hold onto things that are no longer for you, you prevent the things that are actually supposed to show up from arriving.
You stop yourself from receiving the gifts of life.
The things in the past are gone. They’ve drifted off into the ether. You can’t go back and change them. You can’t redo them. Those moments cannot be touched. All you have is now, this moment…and what you do in this moment determines the story that exists in the future.
It’s hard to let go. I know. It’s one of the greatest lessons I keep learning over and over again. But when you do, there’s so much room for possibility.
You are free to create.
Free to be.
Free to choose.
Free to write the story in any way you see fit.
The most important part of all of this is that you can’t let the pains of the past prevent you from getting back out there in the world and trying your best again.
You’re going to get hurt form time to time. It’s inevitable. But refusing to play at all because you’re scared delivers the greatest pain of all – regret.
You have to be willing to lose…in order to win. In everything. You only learn and grow when you put your heart on the line. It’s not the end of the world if you lose. It’s just a moment in time.
Get back out there and try again.
Give it your all.
Learn from the past and move forward with a deeper wisdom.
You can do this.

Yeah even conscious contact, the way that was granted me , that ‘worked’ can become an old idea, and stagnant, oh yeah spiritual growth is growing NOT stagnant, I missed the fear and the letting go bits in a discussion of this with some friends. Those darned yet wonderful Old ideas!
Every time I have a breakthrough I see you write about the exact thing I just went through. The synchronicities are priceless. Seeing others talk about or go through the same as me and come to the same epiphanies will never lose its magic. Thank you for sharing!
