The power of letting go

It gets easier
Letting go can be scary, terrifying in fact. But, once you start doing it and especially if you start with something big, it gets a lot easier.

If you're not willing to be patient you might find yourself missing out. So often we want everything now and the idea of having to wait makes us anxious.

Uncertainty is inevitable
We often make the mistake of thinking that the best way to deal with uncertainty is to remove it from our lives. It makes sense because without all these unknowns there is less risk and you will feel safer. But the problem with this approach is that you can't control everything. Uncertainty will always be … Continue reading Uncertainty is inevitable
