Bury that Thing

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

“The more you talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives it continues to rot in your brain. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up your life and no one wants to be near your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. Be the funeral director of your life and bury that thing!”
― Shannon L. Alder

Let go of the battle

Expect something good to happen

 “Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits.” – Sarah Breathnach

Letting go isn’t a one time thing

“Letting go isn’t a one-time thing, it’s something you      have to do every day, over and over again.”   – Dawson’s Creek

 

I love this quote.  It’s one I think I need to tape to the bathroom mirror.

Living in this world all kind of stuff sticks to us.  And let’s be honest some of it is pretty gross.  We have to let it all go — every day.  If we don’t it will accumulate to the point that it creates major problems.

This is an important part of being in the world but not of the world.  So how do you let go of what no longer serves you?

I am what I choose to become

Let go of certainty

Copyright 2015 by R.A. Robbins

“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox, rather than choose up sides. The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are, but never stop trying to learn and grow.” – Tony Schwartz

You are more than your story

Copyright 2016 by R.A. Robbins

Do you feel trapped in a story of “pain”, “sickness”, “loneliness”, “abuse”, “failure”, “shame” or “isolation”?  Or perhaps your story is of a “perfect world” which may not exist?  Have you moved beyond all that but still find yourself telling the same old story over and over?  Is it time to lay down that tired old story which no longer serves your highest good?

As individuals, communities and nations we are being called to re-examine our stories.  Looking closer at our history, admitting mistakes and taking action to make things better is necessary during times like these.  It’s time to start admitting we are not perfect.  We need to summon the collective courage to dig up some of the skeletons so long buried we can almost believe they don’t exist, find common ground and begin to heal old wounds so we can move forward.

Yes, our stories have led us to who and where we are today.  They have been stepping stones.  They can even serve us as a warning of pitfalls we need to avoid.  It’s when they become our sole identity that we get in trouble.   It is time to release tired old stories that have been holding you back, both individually and collectively so we can live for our higher good?
