Letting Go

In the spirit of Easter, I wanted to take a brief moment to talk about letting go.  In yoga class this week we meditated on this idea that we all have something we are holding onto that perhaps we need to just give up with and move on from.  Whether it's an ex, or that job/internship that you just have to have, or maybe even an idea about how your life is supposed to be going: forgive them, think about another day, and let go of that perfect vision you have in your mind.

I struggled so much this year with all the pressures of trying to choose a career path.  Finally I gave up on this illusion that I had to have it all figured out and to be honest, I think my future has found me.  Opportunities have opened up to me in the past week that I never thought I would be worthy of receiving.

As far as the personal life goes, it has been a trying time.  Forgiveness is hard to give out so freely, but I believe it's the only way you can truly move on from something.

But, seriously: Life can sometimes feel completely out of our control. Like no matter how hard we try, we just cannot seem to keep it all together.  Maybe, just maybe we have to let go of whatever it is that we're holding onto so tightly and take it day-by-day: enjoying the small things and being thankful for the air that still fills our lungs and the oxygen that still pulses through our veins: Feel that? That's purpose. And that is something to hold onto.
