Introduction
The beauty of letting go.

The beauty of letting go.

Everyone has that ONE person.

They did something, said something, went back on something, and ever since….

You can’t let go.

You don’t talk.

You only hate.

How is that working for you?

How is that working for them?

I DON’T NEED AN ANSWER.

I ALREADY KNOW.

The energy of holding on to that moment is crushing you.

Ditto for them.

To help you, let me tell an odd story.

It could change your life.

We had donkeys on the farm because our kids were into them.

Then a few years later, they weren’t into them.

So we did a deal with the person who we bought them from.

We paid him what we bought them for to take them away.

Good deal for us.

And him.

On the day he was picking them up, we struggled to get them into his truck

The rope was not enough of a pull.

They refused.

It was stalemate.

SO HE LET GO OF THE ROPE.

THEY COULD RUN ANYWHERE.

Instead of running off, they just stayed where they were.

It was A MOMENT.

He let go.

And they had to decide.

THEY DID NOTHING.

THEY JUST STOOD THERE.

I think about that a lot.

We hold on TO STUFF when the thing we should do is the opposite.

Probably nothing.

Probably something.
