Letting Go and Accept
We struggle. We want things to meet our specific expectations. We strive to achieve what we want. We focus on that thing we really want. We attach so hard till we forget to live life and experience it.
For some situations, I notice this habit becoming not useful. It is like you are trying to break a rigid and hard wall with your bare hands and it doesn’t break no matter how hard you try.
For such scenarios, the concept I am learning to practice is the idea of letting go and accept. Yes you may think: How can I let go. I want this so badly. It is hard. I can’t just possibly let it go. I will lose everything. My whole world would fall apart.
This is how our mental and emotional attachments grab our actions. We think we are right. We beleive we should get what we want. We think we did all that it takes to acheive it.
But not all life events get along with this rigidity and fixed mindset. There are situations like surviving an illness, starting a business, repairing a relationship that just need you to personally let go of your identity and accept what is.
Although it is hard to practice this idea but it relieves you from the tensions and stresses. It allows you to be human. It gives you the chance to be vulnerable and humble. It creates a space for your humility to arise.
