The Importance of Letting Go

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. – C.S. Lewis

Each move forward requires letting go of a bar to reach forward to the next one.

So it is with life.

To move forward we must let go of the known and the safe.

We must be willing to become a bit more like who we will be and leave the safety of who we think we are.

If we’re living an Ego-based life that believes we are what have and who we know, then it will be difficult to move forward.

However, if we remember that our true nature is love and wholeness, then we need not worry.

That love and wholeness will be there waiting for us as we become who we will be.

Our only task is remember and believe.
