Lesson 185: It Takes Courage to Let Go
We all have courage inside of us. I think when we’re ready, we use it in ways we didn’t image possible. I don’t think courage has to be some grand gesture. I think it’s even the small steps you take to actively want to be and do better for yourself. In this clearing journey, the courage I’ve had to summon to face my deepest, darkest truths have built some character within me. It’s actually been the most confronting thing I’ve ever done in my life – go to the deepest parts of my subconscious and come to some realisations that I didn’t really know until I faced them. It’s really a journey as well. I think that’s courage.
Other things I’ve done this year where I’ve shown courage is to discover my spiritual side and what they really entails. Just going into the unknown and trusting some higher power, not really knowing if it’s right for me and just going with the flow of it. That takes courage. It really opened doors to mentors and friends. Very grateful with how I’ve grown since the day I decided to follow what the Universe had for me.
I have a more open voice at work and try not to let people just take over the decision making. That took courage from me because I don’t usually like conflict, but I feel like if you don’t speak up, then you can be disadvantaged as well as taken advantage of. I think being able to be bold and assertive can go a long way. I’ve grown in the work place and have a voice.
I think deciding to experience new things takes courage. I think sometimes I’ve just had to go out on my own to experience. I have learned that relying on others isn’t always the best way to go. Sometimes if you really want to do something, just go for it and don’t wait to be accompanied. It pushes your comfort zone but that’s the beauty of life. Sometimes we need to push ourselves and just be brave!
I think courage is about doing away with self-doubt and fear. The things I’ve written are about overcoming these things. And in overcoming those feelings and emotions, I’m truly letting go of what was holding me back. When we’ve let go, we’re clear.
