Let Go – Part 2

We talked yesterday about letting go of what is holding you back. Today I want to encourage you to not do it alone.

You can cause undue mental anguish if you think you have to do it all on our own.  If you need help getting rid of some baggage seek out a trusted friend to help talk and walk you through it.

Get someone to help hold you accountable. We often times need someone to come along side of us to help lighten the load.

On the flip side be available to be the person someone may need to walk with them. Maybe your calling for a few days or weeks, maybe even for just a moment, is to be that trusted friend to help someone let go of what is holding them back.

Let’s not allow ourself or those we lead and care for to walk alone.  We will all be in a better place if we do this together.

I’m cheering for you.

Let Go!

Are there some things that you need let go of?

We have a tendency to hang on to things that keep us from really moving forward. They weigh us down.

Habits and routines can be good but if they keep you from growing and stepping outside of the box and being creative then they are holding you back.  You were born to create.

Feel stuck? 

Let go of your comfort zone and embrace the opportunity that a fresh way of thinking or doing something new can bring.

It won’t be a quick fix. It will take hard work and consistent effort daily to make the positive change that you are seeking.  But it will be worth it. 

Whatever you may need to let go of I would encourage you to begin the process of doing it.  Day by day, moment by moment and you will start moving toward better.

I’m cheering for you.

But What If?

I would like to finish the week with a brief thought connected to Tuesday (On The Other Side Of The Storm Is The Sunshine) and Wednesday (In And Out Of The Light) posts.

Sometimes it feels like the storm will not go away and the darkness never gives way to the light, which can lead you to wonder if you will ever see the sunshine or the light.

But what if the storm clouds stay?

Keep the faith.
–keep the faith that the storms will eventually pass and the sunshine will be more radiant than you can even remember. 

But what if we can’t seem to walk into the light?

Don’t stop.  Keep moving.
–If you stop and you don’t keep moving you will never get out of the darkness.  Slow progress is better than no progress.  Keep moving.

It’s natural to question, to doubt, and to wonder if you will ever see the sunshine and the light again. 

I believe that you will but you must have faith and keep moving even if it stays dark and stormy.  It is more important that your believe that and tell yourself that.

Finally, when the sun breaks through, when the light shines on you, all of the storms and all of the darkness that you’ve gone through will have prepared you for that moment.

Your “what If” will turn into a distant memory because you had faith and didn’t stop.

I’m cheering for you.

In And Out Of The Light

I took this photo yesterday on my morning walk.  It was 6:15 AM and was actually much darker than the photo makes it appear.

As I looked down the street and saw the patches of dark and light it reminded me of the journey of our lives and also parallels with yesterday’s post.

There are times you will be walking in light and other times you will walk through some darkness. 

You should know and remember that the light is going to come again.  You won’t be in the dark forever unless you stop. 

If you are in a dark patch right now some light is coming and it may be closer than you can imagine right now.

Don’t stop.  Keep moving.

Look at the far end of the picture.  Do you notice what you see in the distance?  The last thing you can see?  Light.  Light always comes after the darkness.

The other thing I like about this picture is a thought in perspective.  There are more light patches than dark patches.  Keep your eyes on your blessings.  They outnumber your troubles.

Don’t stop.  Keep moving.

I’m cheering for you.
