Are you good at "letting go?"

Sometimes something catches my eye that captures my thought and I ponder until I get it.  This happened recently when I ran across, quite accidently,  inspirational words from Buddha,  "The Greatest Meditation is a Mind that Lets Go." Huh?

At any given moment I'm thinking of what I need to do, what I want to do,  but the need stuff is getting in the way of the want stuff. Oh, and then a thought crosses my mind of some past transgression or hurt that I wish I had said this or handled this way. Ahhhhhggggggggggg!!

So the process of "letting go" seems very liberating to me.  Here's why. It brings us into the present moment, and confirms that there is nothing we need to get and nowhere we actually need to go beyond the "now".   When your mind is clear you're not influenced by events and emotions of the past but trusting what makes "perfect" sense in the moment, regardless of the outcome.

Letting go clears your mind allowing you to trust and invest in your ability to live in the present and increase the odds that you will make decisions that are right for you.   So learn to let go by meditating, taking a deep cleansing breath, reboot, get in the now and trust you are exactly where you need to be at the moment.

“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.”
