24 Days of Letting Go
This year for the Advent Calendar I have decided to shed some weight. If you have seen me lately you will have noticed that I am so overloaded with baggage my knuckles drag along the ground when I walk. So every day until Christmas I will let go of stuff that no longer serves me. Maybe you should do the same?
Today I will let go of knowing the whole picture. All too often I judge my progress by the desired endpoint rather than the actual starting point and there is little chance that I come out ahead. That is not good for my confidence. And it is presumptuous and missing the point to think that I know what the goal looks like. It is a journey and I do not know where it leads. Neither is it important. All I have to focus on is the next step. So be gone and feel love, light, and gratitude.
