How Gracefully you Let Go

“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.” ― Gautama Buddha
Dear Friends,

How gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

Last week I was floating in a beautiful bright blue Cenote filled with crystal clear water watching the clouds float across the sky above me, feeling the weightlessness of the water surrounding me, and thinking about the process of letting go, and a conversation I had with a friend a few weeks ago.

I came across the above quote on a pillow at our retreat house in Mexico this past week and immediately took a picture of said pillow…it just struck me as so deeply profound.

Gracefully letting go of things not meant for you.  It’s easier said than done, isn’t it?  

A dear friend of mine and I were talking several weeks ago about areas in life that we have not let go of, areas in life that are hard to release, areas where we might feel a little stuck, perhaps holding on to things not meant for us.  

But even when we feel, or we are stuck, I do believe we can still be in that space that is hard to release with grace, with love, with gentleness towards ourselves and those around us.  It might take years of processing to get unstuck, but I think we can still continue to walk through those stuck spaces with grace and love.

While we might not be immediately good at gracefully letting go of things that are not meant for us, we can be graceful and loving towards ourselves and those around us during the process of letting go, no matter how long that might take.

I hope this week you are able to be a little more graceful and loving toward yourself and those around you, even if you are a little stuck.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
