Daily Inspirational Message for September 10, 2013

letgo

You are powerful in your letting go. You are more powerful in your letting go than in your holding on. The letting go is your strength. The more you can let go, the stronger you become. Fear causes people to grasp and hold. Letting go creates Infinite freedom. I suggest you take Infinite freedom.
– Connie Huebner
 

I keep reading about the power of letting go, but what does that mean? What are we supposed to let go of? I think we are letting go of both the way things used to be, and the way we think they need to be in the future in order for us to be happy. It’s like we’re hanging from a branch above a river, fighting to stay dry and out of the water. Eventually, we get so tired of clinging to whatever we feel is keeping us safe that we let go. We are then surprised to find the water pleasantly refreshing and shallow enough for us to touch bottom. We are delighted to discover that, as the current carries us downstream, there are all sorts of new possibilities to explore that are just as wonderful as those we were stubbornly clinging to before.
