Letting Go

Let it be my resolve to never hold on to anything that I don’t need. All negativity I have within me is projected. The fears I have for the situations of others are fears I have for myself.

Life is a mirror. Something I don’t like in you is something that I’m unhappy about with myself. It doesn’t take a lot of self examination to know that I am simply putting the parts of me that I do not enjoy onto others and then criticizing them. These are not faults with any other people. They are my own, and them I will own.

I am a firm believer that everybody in life should be able to do as they please. This is a blanket statement that excludes all the obvious actions that you know fair well should be excluded. But as a general rule it works. Let it be.

With thanks to my teachers who have told me every day that I don’t need to be gripping on to something that I can just let go. Sometimes more is not better. Often, it is just more.
