I was laughing out loud by myself today. Epiphanies happen at the strangest moments. I was reading a forum post about someone needing help with ”Letting Go”. Suddenly this new thought arrived, and I started laughing. I have written around this idea of Letting Go before in January and February. However, I had not phrased letting go as I thought of letting go today. Maybe this will help more people who are stuck in place they can not leave.
Letting Go is an opportunity for Health and Healing. Disparate and elaborate methods have been developed of hopefully fixing not being able to let go. Of course as with any perceived need there are almost as many people willing to help – for a price.
Read any Self Improvement Forum, or Personal Blogs, and invariably someone wants help to let go of something they feel is controlling their life. Go figure! That is what struck me as so funny today while I was doing some reading today,
People share their pain in a public forum looking for relief. They are desperate, looking for a way to move past some emotional event that has taken over their life. These people feel so helpless they are asking the world to help them with their pain.
What I found funny today were the words: Letting Go! Letting Go, as if letting go is some physical entity attaching itself to someone who was unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Letting go attached itself to them and now they can not get rid of it.
Someone was in a relationship that went sour. A best friend left for no reason, a family or friend died, a close friend was unforgivably rude, or committed some other act that caused the other person to be so taken out of their life they can no longer find their way back.
We are all vulnerable painful experiences. Most of us come to terms with them and move past their infection point in our lives. Others though are in deeper pain. They feel like they are the only person in the world to experience the emotions they are feeling.
