Do everything with a mind that lets go

A timely reminder to keep letting go. Thank you Lou!

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect any praise or reward. 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. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end…

        Thing is, I’m unsure if I have even left the jetty! 🙂

          With our dogs, we are already on the path Paul. Every moment of love with them is a letting go. 💕

            Oh, what a beautiful perspective! In that case, I am a 1,000 miles out to sea and far from that jetty. 😍

    The problem is we are unwilling to lose things to give oneself the ultimate freedom 🙂

      Yet … When we realize they were not ours to begin with, it becomes easier to let go. Thank you for adding to the conversation Shalini 💛

    When we are able to let go for serious, it gives so much freedom, that is all the hard work worth, Val 🙂

    It is a three letter word that attaches to approval and avoids criticism. It is created and never feels equal to anyone or anything.

    It is our “Ego”. The culprit

      Agreed Marty 💛 It takes awareness and practice to get to know our ego.
