Article Two – The key concept of “Let Go and Move Upwards”
Remember when you are child and were asked to dip your hand in to a box filled with sweets? You only have one chance to put your hand into the box and take as much as you can hold within your hands. What did you do initially?
Most children tried to grap as many sweets as they can, only to find that they have to let go of some of the sweets so that their full fist can go back up the narrow entry hole.
This story concerns itself with the concepts of “Limits” and “Priority”. Most of us understand that our resources such as time are not infinite. Hence we are told and trained to give priority to things at hand that are most important or urgent. In order to do that we have to let go of the desire for other things that are of lower priority until we “have the time”.
Understanding the concepts of “limits” and “priority”, we can explore further on why the need to let go of our past and current (experiences, emotions and choices) helps us to move forward towards success. Ponder upon this sentence:
“Holding too tight on what we have in the past or at present,
we cannot open up to receive other things coming to us.”
How can we pour more water into a jar that is already filled to its brim with liquid? We need to pour out some of the liquid that is already in the jar in order to add in more water into the jar.
So if we keep holding onto past memories or experiences that do not serve us well, we cannot take in other things that are more abundant and beneficial to us. In the following weeks I will share with you some exercises you can do to identify and let go of potentially harmful emotions and thoughts you have been filling yourself with.
This story is crafted as an introduction to a coming series of “Let Go and Move Upwards” articles what will be posted on every Wednesday weekly from now. This article aims to help us to identify and be aware of how we will naturally response to the need to let go of our past and current (experiences, emotions and choices) in other to move on successfully to another stage of our lives. With awareness, we are able take action to let go and move upwards!
