Day 30 - React to this term: Letting go.
First reaction? That is not A term...it is a phrase.
"Let your intention be freedom from useless suffering, then let go." - Elizabeth Gilbert
That quote above changed my life. Useless suffering. Feeling sorry for myself and my broken heart. All of the tears. All of the sleepless nights and the drunk nights and the "why me" nights. Useless suffering. It changed nothing and it did not save me.
What saved me was letting go.
Letting go allowed me to grieve and allowed me to move on. It allowed me to be free of the weight of a broken heart and allowed me to heal. It allowed me to open my heart to love again.
Letting go changed my life.
First reaction? That is not A term...it is a phrase.

Ha! I'm def not good at this. I avoid and hold things in. So healthy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes I'm good at this, sometimes I'm not. I'm one those people who has to go thru steps, grieve and maybe even burn stuff. Great inspiration to do it, Tiff.
