Recharge Your Life By Letting Go

Live Life – Let Go

Dear Friend,

Do you ever wonder why we spend so much time moaning about all that isn’t working in our life?

I sure do.  Yet every hour I do this is one more hour lost.

What do you most worry about?  Is it whether you will miss out on the best that your life could offer? Do you even know what that best might be like?

I don’t.  I have been on a wandering journey all of my life.  I have never known or found any particular “place” or “role” on this Earth.  And yet, all the while, I have been a part of the lives of those around me, often having far more impact on them than I ever understood.

Live Life

Perhaps while I wait for an ideal to manifest, my real life is manifesting on its own, and I don’t even notice?

Sometimes, you just gotta let go of ideal images and goals.  Sometimes, perhaps it’s best to just accept that we really have little power over our lives and the world around us.  Instead of fighting life’s currents and cursing the fates, maybe we should just let go and marvel at all that passes by?

I mean, what passes by is what life really is.  Are we on this Earth to control and direct, or to marvel at what it already is?  Maybe both?

How about you?

What do you think about most? What worries you?  What obsesses you most days, hours and minutes?  Does it really relate to the real, concrete world that is going on all around you?  That passes you by each day?

Are you missing out on the potential richness of your life because you aren’t really present?

Let Go

I’m a natural fighter.  And I have grand dreams and plans.  Come hell or high water, I am determined to achieve those goals.

But I am discovering that, when the journey gets rough, sometimes to let go won’t take you off your path, but might just lead you back to it.

It’s worth a shot, anyway.  And the inspiration that comes from appreciation of what is, instead of determination to change what is, might be just what you need to recharge and renew your drive and energy.

We don’t make our mark merely because we make our world better than it was. What you do on this Earth may very well improve it.  I hope so.

But consider that we can make our life’s mark simply by sharing and celebrating what and who we truly are.  Each of us is unique and beautiful.  Celebrating the beauty of the rose does not denigrate the beauty of the lily.  It adds to it.

I have decided to indulge in going with the flow every so often, just to see what comes.  At least for a bit.  And to take note of life as it passes in front of my senses.

Perhaps it’s OK to let go once in a while, and just be you. It’s good for the soul, I think.  And it’s the only way to truly live.

All the best,

Hugh
