There is a fundamental truth that in life there are several moments
when one is challenged with the task of simply letting go. There is the letting
go of fear and pain, anger and resentment, love and loss. Often one must let go of things, and of people. Some might even argue that there is a time to
let go of dreams and flights of fancy.
But what of those elements within that make it so difficult to truly
practice the art of letting go?
We are told that there is a reason, a season, or a lifetime
for everything. The things that come
into our lives that cause the fear, pain, anger, and resentment, the love and the
loss are often the people and the dreams associated with them. They are truly a part of us. And, our flights of fancy are often the
motivation behind some of life’s greatest accomplishments. Still, sometimes it is prudent to truly let go
of those things, especially once their purpose is served. The point then is not
to ignore or forget the lessons learned through them, but to actually and fully
let them go. For it is in the holding on
to these that can gradually and without warning begin to hold one back.
