Letting Go

"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."
Tina Turner

What are you holding onto, that's making you unhappy? Are you holding onto the beleif that you're fat, or not too bright, or not too loveable? My mother tends to be pessimistic and she told me "that's just the way I am". That is really an excuse to hold on to a self-image. Her ego has control of her mind and wants to preserve and enlarge itself in any way possible, even if it means keeping her feeling bad. She would rather be right than be happy. Do you know someone like that? Is that you?

Did you know that your thoughts and emotions are not you. You can actually let them go. You can cast them off forever. The truth is that you are like one of those great big statues of Buddha made of shining gold, that has been covered up with all the dirt and muck of the jungle. Once you get rid of the dirt and muck (all the thoughts and emotions that make you unhappy) the shining gold that is really you will be revealed in all its glory. It is when you are free of the muck that your true self shines through. Then your true creativity becomes accessible to you.
