let go

You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don’t know it, all of that doesn’t even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It’s not like you have forever, so don’t waste any of your seconds, don’t throw even one of your moments away.” ― C. JoyBell C. We make life hard by constantly doubting and questioning our worth. We make life hard by looking for love and approval in all the wrong places. We make life hard by clinging on to our past, fears, excuses and limitations. We make life hard by clinging on to pointless drama, thoughts and behaviors and by refusing to let go of people who no longer need, or want to be in your life. We make life hard by ignoring, hiding and running away from the many good things life sends our way. We make life hard by facing reality, by following the rules others created for us instead of creating our own reality and our own rules. We make life hard by thinking that there isn’t anything special about us and that everyone else deserves to live a happy life except ourselves. We make life hard by believing every thought that we think and by allowing these negative and self defeating thoughts to dictate how we should live our lives. We make our lives hard by attaching ourselves to the many ideas we have in our head about how life should be lived and how happiness should be packaged and delivered to us. We make our lives hard by trying to control everything and everyone instead of allowing things to take their natural course. We need to learn to relax, let go and enjoy life a little more. Things aren’t as bad as our minds are trying to make us think. They really aren’t. Learn to quiet your mind from to time. Make peace with yourself. Work on purifying your thoughts and you’ll end up purifying your entire life. It’s that simple and yet that complicated. Start small. Take one step at a time, one breath at a time. Make each day a beautiful day and when you will look back you’ll realize that you’ve built a beautiful life. One step at a time. One day at a time… This is how it’s done. No need to complicate things. Follow the advice of Sonia Ricotti, “Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.” and trust that life will take good care of you, because it will, if you’re willing to relax, let go and get out of your own way
