15 Things To Give Up (more or less immediately) 1. Our need to always be right. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?”~ Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big? 2. Our need for control. Situations, events, people, Loved ones, Coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel. “By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.”~Lao Tzu 3. Blame. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life. ~ NO quote necessary. 4. Defeating self-talk. Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. [Tell Yourself]...You are better than that. “The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.”~ Eckhart Tolle 5. Beliefs about what you can or cannot do.. about what is or is not possible. “A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” ~Elly Roselle 6. Complaining. Name one time the complaint changed the situation...go ahead...well wait... Nuff said. 7. Criticism. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all. Give the world a break. 8. Our need to impress others. Why try so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you? It doesnt work any way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take of all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly...or not, in which case, enjoy the silence... 9. Resistance to change. Change is good. Change is good. Change is good. don’t resist it. “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” ~Joseph Campbell 10. Labels. Things, People or Events that you don’t understand arent necessarily weird or stupid or crazy. [See #7] Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” ~Wayne Dyer 11.Fear. It doesnt exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place. 12. Excuses. that is why you fail~ Yoda 13. The love of past. Name one sense organ pointed behind you...other than your mind. Point made. 14. Attachment. “Practice giving things away, not just things you dont care about, but things you do like. Remember, it is not the size of a gift, it is its quality and the amount of mental attachment you overcome that count. So dont bankrupt yourself on a momentary positive impulse, only to regret it later. Give thought to giving. Give small things, carefully, and observe the mental processes going along with the act of releasing the little thing you liked.~Robert A F Thurman 15. Other people’s expectations. “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”~ Friedrich Nietzsche
