iPad Life Lesson
I lost all my journal entries on my noteshelf app this weekend. At first, I was pretty mad and disheartened by it…but then I started thinking about it and realized that for about 2 weeks, “letting go”, has really been emphasized to me. I read that we do not like to let go of things, even or maybe especially those things have taught us a lesson that we’ve already learned. We tend to keep them close to our heart and revisit the lesson over and over and not realizing that perhaps if we let go, the only thing that can happen is that we move on to the next lesson, experience, blessing, challenge…etc. So that’s what I am trying to accept at this moment. To let go of things that have already taught me what they were supposed to. To let go of memories that were beautiful at the time, but now only bring me sadness when I think of them. To let go of baggage that only weighs me down and be freer than I have been. Then I can move on to whatever it is that is coming up next for me, and during this time of “what’s next”, I want to be patient, grateful for what is and what’s now, and believe that I am exactly where I am meant to be and love as much as I can to those around me.
I know that it’s not as easy as it sounds, but it is simple. We can choose to let go…let go when we are ready, or maybe not as ready as we think we are but we do it anyway. Kind of like jumping off a ledge even though we’re scared out of our minds. Or chugging an oyster when you’re not sure if you like raw oysters. Or writing a blog post when you haven’t written in a long time so you’re pretty stale. Ha! But you do it anyway. So I will choose to let go. Even if that means choosing minute by minute…or second by second…I will let go. I will let go and look forward and not let shit weigh me down. Thank you iPad for always teaching me great things! I love you! #baggage #letgo #peace #mindfulness
