Through our environments we tend to inherit the beliefs of
those we are with. We are reflective of the company we keep. Those environments
help to define who we are and what we believe.
It is up to us to find those who share the same beliefs as
us. It is also up to us to shed those whose beliefs differ dramatically from us
no matter how difficult it may be to do so. We are the charterers of our course
in life. And if there is excess baggage then we must have the nerve to let it
go to save ourselves.
Remembering always when we let the baggage go, we let it go with dignity,
compassion and grace. We do so with the mindset that people change and have the
right to change - as do we. We let them go with forgiveness as well. Forgiving them
for any wrong they may have caused in our lives because we recognize the wrong
they did helped us to realize who we are not and what we can’t carry anymore.
We forgive ourselves for thinking horrible thoughts about that person or people.
And then once we have made our decision, we surrender it to
the Universe. Asking the Universe to heal our pain and help us to move on to
the next stage of our lives. Sending gratitude to the severed ties. Not malice.
Because there could come a time again in life when those ties will once again
connect. Will once again be necessary for us to move on to another stage.
Goodbyes don’t have to be forever. Friendships and relationships
have a time and season. And sometimes those seasons have to end in order for us
to grow even further. But that does not mean we are saying goodbye forever. And
that is why when we say good bye we do it with as much compassion, forgiveness,
love and grace as we can. For only then will we know we are doing it for the
betterment of ourselves and those we are letting go. Only then will we understand,
we are not doing it from a place of ego or hate but from a place of surrender
and love.
Life can sometimes take us on paths unexpected. Leaving us
feeling pretty raw and full of pain. But if we did not experience these
emotions, how would will we ever know when it’s time to let go. How will we
ever know who we are and who we are not? How will we know what baggage we
can handle versus baggage we cannot? How will we ever know what we believe
and what we do not?
Remembering always we are reflective of the company we keep,
the environments we are in. Look around you today and decide if this is truly
who you are. And if it is not, it is time to change whatever or whomever does
not feel right.
