Letting go of expectations
Letting go of false ideas
Letting go of empty dreams
Letting go of social comparisons
We hang onto ideas and beliefs and attitudes that were formed long ago, in a different circumstance, in a different environment. I have a vague sense of why we owned these thoughts in the first place. They served a purpose at the time. My parents had these values. The cool kids did these things. The political or church attitude at the time was such. They become building blocks of how we see the world and we think they are normal, just the way the world is. We build our lives with them in place, like a scaffold of a building. They’re useful – until they’re not.
I’m not suggesting we knock out all the scaffolding. Not all at once at least. But can we at least take a step back, notice that it’s there and ask about its purpose? And does the purpose still serve?
