No Trumpets sound when the important decisions of our lives are made. Destiny is made known silently. Agnes de Mille
We can change our lives in the next year by letting go. Letting go of the thoughts that torment us. Like "I need a lover" or "My lover is lousy". How can you attract the lover you want when you are not practicing self love? This is not ego based or selfishness, it is refusing to give those tormenting thoughts, another thought. Just letting them GO because they do not serve you anymore. It's about kindness to self. It's about changing how you feel about yourself and de-stressing as much as you can. It's about feeling good about the decisions you are making to give yourself peace. Because peace and happiness go hand in hand. It's about giving up the man who never stepped up anyhow. Who never saw you for who you are. This is about changing the "If only I had _____" into the "I think I will". It's not about him. It's not about your relationship with him or lack of. It's about your relationship with self. You. Start with you.
"She let go.
Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around in her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the 'right' reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn't ask anyone for advice.
She didn't read a book on how to let go.
She didn't search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn't promise to let go.
She didn't journal about it.
She didn't write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn't check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn't analyze whether she should let go.
She didn't call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn't do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn't call the prayer line.
She didn't utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn't good and it wasn't bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone on her."
