Joseph Campbell said, “We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” It sounds so easy, but for most, holding onto what we know is easier than moving forward into the unknown. When you hold onto something that does not serve you, it’s time to let go. Spencer Johnson said, “Change happens when the pain of holding on becomes greater than the fear of letting go.” Have you ever experienced that in your life? The goal is to shift our energy and focus from fear to curiosity, from attachment to letting go, from control to trust, and from entitlement to humility. When you can achieve that, you will experience the treasures that are waiting for you.
