Let's Do It

For the past few years, I have posted an article on breaking the past in order to forge a new life ahead. Some of you will have already read this text, but many will have not. This republishing is dedicated to all who desire change and a more meaningful life.

It is time to be who I want to be. To give meaning to my life. Be a positive influence. Make a difference. Indeed, to "thrive" rather than be a thing that takes up space and air.

Join me in letting go of the world that was - false prophets, fake people, wrong direction, mindless routines and loveless relationships.

Let us learn to let go of "things". Life is not about things. As we grow older, we replace things with people. Often, we do so when it is too late. Focus on the relationships in your life. Look at the people around you and how amazing they are. Tell them how much you appreciate them.

Let go of excessive entertainment. To be entertained 24/7 is to pave a road made of poverty and emptiness. Replace it with learning, growing, experimenting and trying new things.

Let go of seeing life as a burden. Life is an adventure. Your purpose is to discover and create. You must have problems for they are opportunities for growth.

You must let go of your job if it is killing you. The faceless corporate liars, thieves and ambassadors of greed don't even know you. But they are ruining your chances for a better life. You owe them nothing, but you owe yourself and your family everything. Get out and have faith that you can do better.

Let go of your insecurities and your lack of confidence. It's time for you to lift yourself up and start doing something you have not done - believing in yourself. Trust your powerful and inventive mind.

You are as good as the next person. You can own a business, be a successful freelancer, and make your mark on this world if you believe that you can. If you run your own business, you are more secure than any corporate CEO.

Now is the time to let go of people who drag you down. There is no longer any room for negativity, bullying, gossip, disrespect and mistreatment. The world is filled with negativity. We do not need to add to it by nurturing toxic relationships. Leave those who poison your mind and show no empathy, support or reciprocal communication.

Let go of your anger. It is holding you back. Our petty grudges. Our criticism of others. Our displeasure at ourselves for not being who we think we should be. Wake up tomorrow in a state of neutrality. It will create the opening for self love.

Let go of perpetual planning. It is an excuse not to act. We have seen how fast time can pass. You've done your planning. Now make your move.

Let go of the past for the injustices you perceive to have happened must not continue to hold you back. Release them. Free your mind so it may be populated with good intentions.

Let go of indifference. Violence in the news and society's caring deficit are making us indifferent to the pain around us. See the homeless as human. Be a friend to the friendless. Discover your compassion.

Let go of what others say and think. Nobody has the right to crush your dreams. Today's bold action, even if it makes you feel foolish, will create a tomorrow free of regret.

Let go of holding back love. We are afraid to say "I love you." What if the other person doesn't feel the same way? It matters not. Say it for yourself. You are human. You need to love. That's not something to be ashamed of.

As we approach 2025, there is only one person preventing us from creating more meaning in our lives. That person looks at us each morning in the mirror.

It is time to embrace the miracle that is you.
