Let It Go!

Let it Go!

We all want to move forward in life, however, many times in our efforts to do so are like we have one foot on the gas and one on the brake.

But in order to be truly free, we must learn how to let go.

Release the hurt.

Release the fear.

And most importantly…. release the past by refusing to entertain your old pain.

Most of us don’t even realize where our “bad seeds” of thought come from.  Besides the obvious culprits of failed relationships and failed business ventures, those “seeds” can be from a book, a movie, co-worker or even a well-meaning friend or relative.  It can be the result of bad philosophy, bad theology, bad parenting or just plain bad advice.

The important thing to understand is that the energy it takes to hang onto the past can hold you back from a wonderful new life. So why not just let it go? 

What is it that you would let go of today? 

Whatever it is, let it go right now and have a fantastic day.  And then let some more go tomorrow!

Special bonus today for all of you who enjoy their rock and roll… While Googling for images of “let it go”, I found this old video (link below) of the classic song Let it Go by English rockers Def Leppard.

This is an old school music video from the early 80’s…poorly dubbed footage of the band performing the song while the studio version of the song plays but it is entertaining anyway if you enjoy this kind of music. 

Also, this was filmed back when the drummer still had both of his arms.  That drummer, Rick Allen, lost his left arm in a car accident a few years later and continues to play in the band to this day.  His story is one of the most inspiring you will ever hear and despite being possibly the world’s only one armed drummer, he let it go!!!
