Give Up What Weighs You Down

Updated: Apr 12, 2021

Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down. ― Roy T. Bennett

Letting go… It is so easy to say but difficult to practice. It is about accepting what is happening right now – in this present moment and not worrying about what will come up tomorrow. In doing so you remove the barriers that prevent you from moving forward; release the factors that disrupt your happiness and no longer serve you on your journey through life. This includes releasing all doubt, worry, and fear about a situation, person or outcome.


Letting go is a choice. You must decide that you are no longer going to stubbornly hold on to the things that are out of your control; no longer brings a sense of accomplishment and joy, and focus on what you can control, instead.


When you let go, you allow the universe to create space for fresh beginnings and in doing so enable the doors of brand-new opportunities to open. What hinders you and makes you unhappy you let go in the process.


I hope that the quotes below encourage you to let go of the things that no longer serve you on your life journey; no longer bring you joy and allow you to look beyond the present obstacle to what your life can be like if you let go.

Shine on! ✨
