When we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight. If we want to avoid pain, we hold on for dear life. When we are in fear of losing, looking bad or being abandoned, we tighten our grip. When our greatest fears come up on us, we clench our fist and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn to let go. We have the capacity to live through any adversary if we simply let go. We cannot stop time or destiny. whatever is going to happen has already happened; we must learn how to see through to the end. When we hold on, we prolong the pain. When we dig our feet in, we must be uprooted. When the time comes for growth and change, we must have the courage and faith to let go.
