Getting stuck in how things “should” be

File:Stuck in the Mud, Hull - geograph.org.uk - 1175164.jpg

Letting go means just what it says. It’s an invitation to cease clinging to anything — whether it be an idea, a thing, an event, a particular time, or view, or desire.

It is a conscious decision to release with full acceptance into the stream of present moments as they are unfolding.

To let go means to give up coercing, resisting, or struggling, in exchange for something more powerful and wholesome – 

which comes out of allowing things to be as they are without getting caught up in your attraction to or rejection of them,

in the intrinsic stickiness of wanting, of liking and disliking

One thought on “Getting stuck in how things “should” be

  1. …. on the other hand, can “Letting Go” also means: giving up hope. In cases of absence of manifestation… for example. What do you think?
