Everyone has one common goal in life: to achieve true happiness. The biggest factor holding us back from achieving our dreams is, simply and sadly, our own selves. We put limitations on ourselves every day, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Let’s face it, letting go can be hard to do!

We try to hold onto people or stuff to feel important, to be loved, to ease our fears, or to hold tight to the illusion of being in control. The path to freedom and happiness lies in letting go of attachment; this doesn’t mean disengaging from life, denying your passions, or living the life of a renunciation. The real nature of detachment is a loving, fulfilled participation in life while maintaining the awareness that whatever we hold on to is not our true identity.

We often “hold on” far beyond its ability to serve us; our identities are found in the presence of here and now, live in the moment and allow life to happen instead of trying to force outcomes. When you relinquish regrets over the past and fears about the future, you can truly make the most of each present day.

“If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.”

There will never be a time when life is simple; there will always be time to practice accepting that. Every moment is a chance to let go and feel peaceful. DO it now, just…let go!
