Let It Go

Every now and again you realize that something you want is out of your control. Really out of your control. Out of your reach.

And it begins to make you crazy.

You worry. You obsess. You make deals with the heavens or the devil or both.

None of it makes you feel any less frantic or crazy.

And none of it brings it into the realm of your control.

You’re at a loss.

Maybe it will work out your way. Maybe it won’t. But for now you just don’t know and there’s nothing you can do to figure it out or speed up the process.

You still feel frantic and crazy, no matter what you do or say to yourself.

That’s the point at which you need to cut it loose. Let it go out into the universe even though you don’t think there’s any way in the universe to let it go.

But you have to. You have to release it to fate or God or the universe or nothingness or whatever it is you believe in.

Because if you don’t, it will make you crazy.

And it’s not easy. In fact, it may be one of the hardest things to do in the entire universe.

Yet you must.

Let it go.

Let the world have its way with whatever it is you’re setting free. Eventually it will come to pass or it won’t. Eventually your anxiety will subside. And you will continue living, maybe a little happier, maybe a little sadder, or maybe just the same.

Just let it go.

Let it go out into the universe where it belongs.
