Letting Go
By peace | August 26, 2007
Why do we feel sad and why do we feel unhappy? Wants and desires are the cause of it. Wants are desires and desires replace one another like bees waiting in line at an open flower. If you want to be happy, you need to let go of your desires. What is really meant by letting go?
Letting go is not living with the heartache-filled dreams of what might have been.
Letting go is not the certainty that somebody else was wrong.
Letting go is not moving on from one disappointment to the hope of some new victory.
Letting go is not the anxious search for a new solution to an old problem.
Letting go is not learning to live with lowered expectations.
Letting go is not the avoidance of people or places that painfully remind you of past attachments.
Letting go is not having to convince yourself of how right you were to let go of something.
Letting go is not the need to rehearse conversations in your mind in an attempt to feel confident.
Letting go is not your insistence that you can let go of anytime you want.
Letting go has nothing in common with self-sacrifice and the sour of resentful feelings that always seem to accompany any of our self-designed acts of self-denial. Letting go has nothing to do with disciplines, the external rearrangement of our affairs, or struggling to be free in our relationships. Letting go has nothing to do with the release of anything outside of yourself.
