Some things to ponder

She Let Go - A Poem, A Meditation, A Guide

11/4/2014

Upgrade your life by letting go of what does not serve you.  This is the current theme of my life.  I hold on to things.  I hold on so that I remember people, places, and good times.  I hold on to things so that I remember that I am real, and so I can see how far I have come.  I hold on to things, because I had so little as a child.  I read this poem and it has been a mantra for me - Sometimes I read the entire thing, or just focus on a couple of lines...

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.

She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

Ah yes, the struggle of surrender. One of my favorite quotes is "let go or be dragged." :) Good luck to you on your journey of letting go and love the poem which is a great reminder.

Love this! I've never seen this poem before, but it is a perfect reminder for me. I printed it out and put it up on the wall in my office.

Thank you.

You are changing. The universe around you is changing. Just because something was right for you in the past doesn’t mean it still is. This could be a relationship, a job, a home, a habit, etc. It happens to you slowly as you grow. But no matter what happens, <a href="https://www.techfiver.com/wapwon-com/">don't let it change the Sweet you</a>. Give yourself the happiness and peace of mind you deserve by Letting go. Now, I know it's not easy, but just give a try and it works out. You're Fearless, Bold, Strong, Smart, Intelligent and Beautiful. Can't you see that you don't deserve to be there because you're worth far more than that. You are You, I need you to believe that.
