"Receive without pride, let go without attachment." - Marcus Aurelius
Ever notice that when you're waiting for the phone call job offer, or the text from a girl, or that check in the mail, it NEVER comes, but the moment you forget about it, the moment you "let go," lo and behold...
If you are reading this, I hope you know you are special and capable of creating amazing things. Wish you lots of health, love & peace đź’—
I needed this.. Never take life too seriously. Its a dance, enjoy the music instead of worrying what note is coming next
I am autistic and suffered a violent father, years of school bullies, aggression from my Mum's boyfriend, and years of disturbance from my drunken violent neighbour whose outbursts and destruction brought back memories of my Dad. I learned the power of forgiveness, and when I forgave them I let go of them mentally, and I found in turn that they let go of me.
Follow your strengths, rather than trying to repair your weakness... Such a good quote
As a kid i got cancer. Realising there is no point in stressing out, i focussed on the things i could still do. To the point sitting in the garden, enjoying the sun and the company of my dog was all i had. Staying calm kept me strong in a way. In the eyes of my parents, being mentally able to keep calm was the thing what helped me through all the hard times. Me too like to see it that way, but i also believe a shitload of luck was needed ;)
In a relationship: the more you "control," the more you do not have control over it. The more you let go, the more you have control over it.
I was striving to be with a girl I loved for years, we'd been on and off for a while, and it put me in a very depressed state of mind. Then she hooked up with my friend in front of me and it just occurred to me "oh, she's just gonna be like that." I initially was very angry, then I realized it was just her nature, and I finally let go after 4 years. I literally met my wife the next day. Life's weird, shit happens, sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing.
I've learned a long time ago about letting go. It is always a pleasant surprise when you let go and receive what you want but even if it never materializes it is still the same. We go with the flow, and accept the reality be it good or bad. Not stressing over life is truly living. Have a great life everyone.
She isn't coming back, Man. Let her go, you're worth more than that.
I'm 60, I've been in therapy for 5 years now, and this, this opened my eyes. Sadly, I've been fighting the wrong battle and doing everything I could do, so I did not let go. I wrote songs, I made mental images, I did everything I could possibly think of doing, just so I would never let go, of the feeling. With the help from my doctors, I was able to stop the medication, to see if this would help me focus, I was so afraid of letting go because if I let go, she would be lost forever. I wish I would have let go, letting go was the problem, I was the problem. Today, is the 1st day of letting go! Thank you!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time in my life. I’m trying to let go of a past relationship and Taoism has really helped me Thank you einzelganger
These videos are so therapeutic after suffering heartbreak, rejection and regret from the past. Keep feeling like everything is my fault and I don't deserve to live. Thanks.
It reminds me of the serenity prayer. "God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen."
If you resist, it will persists. If you look at it, it will disappear.
Crazy how you practise these principles even without KNOWING IT. I personally am the kind of person who feels the need to control everything inorder to get the best results and protect me and my loved ones. But too much of it, ruined my peace of mind. I wasnt getting results, and i just seemed to drain my own energy. Thats when i got so tired, i let go. I was gradually following this principle even without knowing it. I now go with the flow, do whats necessary but dont force things to happen. I accept whatever comes my way as long as i know ive done my part. I trust the universe and still do good, but within my capacity.
Summary: 1.Letting go of "too much" control 2.Embracing change 3.Focus on the present 4.Letting go of exess
Imagine letting go, and all that you desire flows to you, simply because you desire it. That is my definition of creative abundance.
