Letting go

How many of us need to let go of something? Let go of past hurt and pain, of chains holding us down, or grudges that have been weighing on us for so long, too long?

I imagine a person up 12,000 feet in the sky grounded on a plane about to do their first skydive. The hardest part could be letting go of the stable ground on that plane. But the minute they let go, they are set off to an amazing journey; diving with clouds, flying with birds, and enabling their body to partake in one of the most breathtaking out-of-this-world experiences.

It is important to ask what helped that person let go? It came with immense preparation. It wasn’t a blind fall, but rather a carefully and strategically planned undertaking. The wind was studied and the necessary equipment was given. It is these vital tools that helped the one diving finally let go.

It comes without question that the fear of letting go can be one of the most debilitating. But that debilitation is only preventing you from the most beautiful embarking of your life. Thus, without that preparation, the fear of letting go can easily turn into an endless constraint.

So when you are fearful and stuck, seek those fundamental preparations. Study the wind, build your parachute, and prepare for your flight.

To sum it up, stop worrying about letting go. Prepare for landing.
