Just as each wave gently crashes onto the shore and knows when it’s time to release its way back, we also must learn to release the weight of what weighs us down.
Letting go isn’t about choosing to forget or choosing to no longer feel or acknowledge, rather it’s about making space for beautiful new things to find their way into our lives.
Have you ever noticed how trees know when it’s time to let go of their autumn leaves; they don't resist, they allow the breeze to carry them away because they trust that a new season will bring new growth.
This simple act in nature teaches us that there's a beauty in surrendering to what is.
Letting go means releasing all of the things that steal your peace, and releasing the fear that holds you back from the person you want to be.
If you can imagine how you would feel after releasing yourself from a warm embrace of a loved one. You let go of that embrace with warmth and a heart full of love.
That's how letting go should feel.
It's about embracing the love within your heart; forgiving if you need to, not just others but also yourself, and allowing yourself to feel free and open to what awaits you.
Letting go isn't about losing anything, it’s about gaining freedom, clarity, perspective, and peace.
It's like holding a tiny bird in the palm of your hand, feeling its delicate heartbeat, and then opening your palms to let it fly into an endless sky.
Letting go is not the end; rather, it’s a new beginning.
