5. Let go of expired ideals. – Growth is
painful. Change is painful. But in the end, nothing is as painful
as staying stuck somewhere you do not belong.
6. Let go of yesterday’s tragedies. –
You are not what has happened to you; you are what you choose to become in this
moment. Drop the needless burden, take a deep breath and start
again. Ultimately, you will know you are on the right track in life when
you become disinterested in looking back, and eager to take the next step.
7. Let go of your tendency to avoid problems. –
You cannot change what you refuse to confront.
8. Let go of life’s little annoyances. –
Don’t let dumb little things break your happiness. Frustration and stress
come from the way you react, not the way things are. Adjust your
attitude, and the frustration and stress is gone.
9. Let go of assuming other people are more “normal” than you. –
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well.
Period.
10. Let go acting standoffish and unapproachable. – We all need to learn
to be more human. Don’t avoid eye
contact. Don’t hide behind gadgets. Smile often. Ask about
people’s stories. Listen.
11. Let go of the idea that some people are below you. –
Even if you’ve worked really hard to get to where you are in life, there’s no
such thing as a self-made person. Someone believed, encouraged, and
invested in you. Be grateful and be that someone for others too.
What goes around eventually comes around. No one has ever made themselves
strong in the long run by showing how small someone else is. So don’t be lazy
and make assumptions about people. Ask about their story. Then
listen. Be humble. Be teachable. Be human. Be a good
neighbor.
12. Let go of the idea that you are what you physically own. –
You are an incredible human being who’s entirely detached from what you have
physically acquired in this world. Remember to remain humble.
Ultimately, two things define you more than anything else: Your patience when
you have very little, and your attitude when you have more than enough.
13. Let go of wanting stuff
you don’t need. – Don’t think of cost. Think of value. And
remember, it’s always easier to find wealth by needing less, instead of making
more and more and more. (Read The Total Money Makeover.)
14. Let go of seeking happiness from outside yourself. –
In life, you have to create your own sunshine. Happiness starts from
within. So read something positive every morning and do something
positive before you go back to sleep. Keep your focus on all the positive
possibilities and opportunities, and you will feel great. Feel great, and
you will do great things.
