A significant life lesson has been learning to let go of ‘stuff’ of ‘things’ that don’t serve my higher self. This includes any form of toxic relationships, of other people’s projections, and vitriol. I learned to choose self-respect and courage. I stopped making excuses and believing that I had to fix everything and everyone. I learned that when some things are broken, then they simply are broken, and that’s ok. It just is.
Life is too short, and too valuable to lose oneself amongst the menacing shadows of the past. Life is lived in each moment, in each and every breath. It is here that I have the power needed to make the right choices. I learned that the common denominator in every one of my professional and personal relationship, is myself. I needed to learn how to respond, and not be too focused on the actions of others. I needed to accept that I cannot change people, I can only change myself. I learned the power of my own voice and the power within each choice. I learned to grow comfortable with change. The benefit of cutting myself some slack, was that it inevitably led to me being much less critical, and much more accepting of others. It’s amazing how much more enjoyable life is when you learn to relax a little more, and simply learn to let go of stuff that keeps you trapped in the quagmire.
