LET GO

What needs to happen will happen. You cannot control the future or outcome. You care too much about what people think of you or how they see you or “what will happen if I do or say this”. This constant need of acceptance from and validation by others leads to fear-based decisions and anxiety. Not only this but we start depending on others to tell us what our worth is. And gradually the “self” becomes dormant and we become a product of this society, forgetting who we are and what’s our purpose.

The key here is ACCEPTANCE. When you accept things, people and situations as they are; you get the inner strength to LET GO.
.
Acceptance will come in when you operate from the space of heart; not mind (ego “I”). When you look at people and situations from the space of heart, you realize that all are on their respective journeys, meeting you for a reason. Thank them for giving you that experience (good,bad,ugly) as it surly had a learning for you and it helped you become a better version of yourself. You cannot control how they behave but you can certainly control how you react to their behaviour. So, accept and let go.

Another important step one needs to take is to KNOW THYSELF. Knowing yourself is the greatest power any person can have. Think think and think. Thinking will bring you closer to knowing yourself. What is it that you want, why do you want it, what do you like and what is it that you donot resonate with, could be people, place or the work that you do. So, try to know yourself as much as you can so that you do things that YOU WANT TO DO; not what you think OTHERS will appreciate you for or want you to do.

LET GO off what you are not and embrace what you are becoming. This process is painful yet beautiful.
