Just Let it Go!

Just Let it Go!

An article we found of interest is ‘Just Try Letting It Go’ by Janet Van deWalle. What is it that makes so many of us so intense at times? Whether it involves work, family, health, you name it – the way many of us act is as if we were facing a life or death situation. We push, we argue, we succeed in stressing ourselves out to the max! Whoever said life was supposed to be so hard? Arnold Schwarzenegger says “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

Although some people were raised to approach life that Arnold touts, some agree it is important to just ‘let it go’ at times. By forcing issues, it may make the situation worse and can evolve into a battle that goes on for days. By ‘letting go’ of the disagreement and putting our attention elsewhere, just for a short time, you might find yourself becoming more rational and reasonable.

‘Over-seriousness is a warning sign for mediocrity and bureaucratic thinking. People who are seriously committed to mastery and high performance are secure enough to lighten up’ – Michael Gelb. The tone most people shoot for when striving to meet goals is relief. Whether we’ve achieved a long sought-after business goal, the initial feeling we all experience is a sense of complete relief.
