There are times where our lives need to washed by our tears so that we can see with a fresh perspective. When we are having to let go when we really want to hang on is when these tears hurt the most. Letting go is a process of resistance into surrender. We are always in the most pain when we are resisting, fighting and wanting our reality to be different than it is. We want our lives to be different, we want our relationships to be different, we want the world to be different. Once we get into surrender we accept what is happening even if we dont like it, and at times travel alone so we can see how the changes or losses ended up to be the greatest gifts which ever could have happened. Wouldnt it be nice to have this hindsight perception while in the middle of the storm? Unfortunately, that is not how it works. Life, then, is a balance between having plans and goals and letting go of control and a sense of direction and trusting even when we are walking blindly. In these times of letting go we have time to remake ourselves, love ourselves, and set new visions for our lives. We begin to see that the right people for us will have time for us, will accept us for who we are and not need us to be different, they will be emotionally available, and will respect our needs as much as their own. Knowing when to hold on and knowing when to let go is the divine process of knowing yourself and trusting the deeper recesses and mysteries only life knows. This is loving yourself.
