When
we think of letting go, we think about losing something. It is like
when we are learning addition it is much easier than subtraction. We do
not like things being taken away but we all love things being added to
our lives. When we think about letting go, because we seem to believe
that the more we have the bigger we get the better we are, we suffer.
Living this way, we find that no matter how much we have, how much we
get or how much we achieve that we never feel like we have enough. We go
on this desperate hunt to get more and more to fill us up. The results
are depression, feeling as if there is never enough, and powerlessness.
We do this because we think we are not whole. Having more doesn't make
us complete. Even if we win what we set out to win, it still will not
complete us. The only thing that completes us is love. Love from self
and then from others. I love the idea of less being more. If we believe
the idea that we have to have more to be happy we will suffer. But if we
realize that we ARE love, that we are already complete then we can
connect to that "enough" space internally. We can let go of needing
power. Isn't it interesting that when we try to have power we cannot
have it but when we let go of needing it we have it in abundance?
Learning to let go, or making use of subtraction, helps us to swipe away
all the things we think we need to be happy and we can find that all we
need is already available.
