Never Give In – Just Let Go Chapter 5

When we say “Never Give In”, we mean it in the context that Sir Winston Churchill did when he said, “Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”  Instead, “Just Let Go”.

The last three items that we have to “Just Let Go” of are:

13. Let go of labels. Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open.

14. Let go of  living your life to other people’s expectations.   Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live.  They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them.   They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling.   They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives.   They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.  You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.  BUT, never forget the Golden Rule.

15. Let go of your fears. Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it.  It’s all in your mind.  Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.

We left this last one to the end as we feel that this is the most important thing we have to let go of.  If can get this one right, all the others may just fall right into place.  To quote Franklin D. Roosevelt, “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”

Oodles of thanks to World Observer for putting this list in print.  Let us hear from you regarding how you are doing with “letting go”.  We’ll be working on it too.  Letting these things go can only add to the love, joy and abundance we see in our lives.
