Every so often common sense dictates letting go and starting over
I think people tend to believe this mostly means material things, but I think it needs to go farther than that.
The material things may seem difficult to let go of, but they are things other people can forcibly take away from me, so they were never really mine in the first place.
Letting go of what is only mine is much harder.
Thoughts, fears, habits, prejudices, grudges, all those negative things that can ruin a perfectly beautiful moment from the inside out, are much harder to dispose of.
Even tradition can be a bad thing if it becomes so deeply ingrained that I can’t see over the edges of the rut it leaves me in.
This year I want to concentrate on the beauty of the moment unhampered by past negativity. I know it won’t be as easy as I want it to be so I have a plan. Not a really new plan, but one I intend to focus on more intensely this year.
Each time a negative thought rears its ugly head I hope I am able to recognize it and then blow it away on the next breath as something I no longer need.
