"You Will Never Learn to Fly if you can't let go"
I love this saying, but I must admit, I have the hardest time at letting go...Why do I have such a hard time letting go I often wonder? I see people who are able to do this easily, all of the time, yet for some reason I will hold on, even if the line is cutting off my circulation, and more often than not, it is!
I think for me to let go means to fail, now I'm not really all that competitive, but still, I don't like to fail, so maybe there is a competitive edge to me after all...Honestly...I think we probably all have felt the struggle of letting go of something, or someone, at some point in our lives. That being said, I think it is very important for us all to realize the truth of this beautiful quote:
"Giving up doesn't mean you are weak, it means you are strong enough to let go." author unknown
Change is inevitable, we as people become creatures of habit, and do all we can to resist change, yet I just know if I could just embrace changes as well as I embrace life itself, I would be much happier, and less disappointed much of the time. Flying is a skill we must all learn, if we are going to live our lives to the fullest extent, Fly we must, and we must also learn how to Fly Well~! (I prefer a Broom, but you go ahead and use any means of transportation you like!)
I'm really good at giving advice, but I must be honest, I almost never take my own advice...I'm really good at giving, and much more uncomfortable at receiving. I am a firm believer though that we are all living the lives we are supposed to be living, and if that means we have to learn from our own mistakes, and learn from them in the hardest of ways, well, then so be it. I have a real issue with Judgement...I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have heard "If that were me, I would Never _______"
You fill in the blank...I'm pretty sure I've said it a few times myself, and as soon as I say it want to put a clamp over my mouth...because how, exactly, can I know just what I would Never do ...if I have Never done it?!?!? You know these people, they are everywhere, and they have Perfect lives...I am a firm believer that until you have walked a mile in my shoes, you have no right to judge me...(That way, when you do, you will be a mile away away from me, and you will still have my shoes heeheehee thank you Jack Handey, I LOVE that line) But, in all honesty, you know what I mean, there is always someone who can handle your life and your decisions better than you can, or so they think...yet I find, when these same people are facing a very similar crisis, all of a sudden, they realize all too quickly that what they "said" they would do, and what they "actually" do, are two different things. Only You can decide what is best for you, and only You can decide, when or what to let go of...But I do want to say that I have come to realize, many of the situations we hold on tight to, are actually toxic to our souls. If we could just let go, I mean really let go, who knows just how far or fast we could fly?
I'm learning...a little too slowly sometimes, but I am learning...and the older I get the wiser I am about what I hold onto and what I let go of. I like to call myself a "life-long-learner" ... as long as I am alive, I will in fact learn something new every day. I too am hopeful, that I will learn how to fly, just as fast and far as I need to. I also am hopeful, that as I learn to trust myself and build my own confidence that this so called "Flying" will thicken my skin a bit as well, so that I am not as easily hurt as I am now by the things I have no control over.
So go ahead...just jump right in...I want to see you to learn how to fly too ...and it doesn't matter what it is that you need to let go of to do so, it doesn't matter how big or small...what does matter, is that whatever it is needs to be good for You and only You...
You may just find out that your soul will be thankful you did <3
Wishing you SO MUCH Happiness,
and Much Love,
