Never Give In – Just Let Go Chapter 1

This past week, one of our good chums, Pam, posted something on her Facebook page that caught our attention and made us ponder just what things we, your chums, are hanging on to that may be keeping us from becoming all we were meant to be. There was a list from an on-line publication called World Observer that spoke of letting go of 15 things that may be holding you back and that if you let go of, would result in a happier life.  Expecting that this might be a list of activites or material items we read on, a bit skeptical.   We were really struck with how profoundly  different each of our lives could be if we really did let go of these things.

We felt that to really give us, each one of us,  a chance to put this into practice it would be better to consider them three at a time and spend the week working on those three before moving on to the next three.  So for the next five weeks on Mondays we will give you three things to consider leting go of in order to make room in your life for more love, more joy and more abundance.

Here we go:

1. Let go of complaining. Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

2. Let go of your need to impress others. Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

3. Let go of your excuses. Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

As you first read through this list, this all sounds fairly simple in theory doesn’t it ?  But work on them…really, really work on them this week and see what a difference “letting go” of the “stuff” in your life that you truly don’t need can make.  And keep us posted, we would love to hear about your progress.  You know what we want most for all of you, our chums, and for ourselves, is to have lives full of love, joy and abundance!
