Cut The Ties - The Letting Go

 

When a tie is cut, it is as good as letting things go.  While there could be an unsettling feeling, letting go should not be an act that is about anger.  It is not about hate.  It is not about being mad.  It is not a feeling of being annoyed.  Nor, it has to do with giving things up – be it with relationships and/or events.  Nor, it is about taking a bitter action of severing ties with the past.

Letting go can be easy to the mind when the good lesson is learned.  It makes the cut to be less painful.  Yet it is liberating should it be looked in the positive, bigger picture.  Letting go is a gift on awareness; it is wisdom in itself.  It is the willingness to surrender to become comfortable with not knowing what will come next.  

Not able to let go will not make us strong.  To live life not knowing when to let go is to live in the world of insecurities.  It is not necessary to make life happy but we should not make it sad either.  

The trick to live is to surrender.  It is where any problem ceases to exist.  We, as humans, either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy.  The amount of work is the same.

When we are able to cut a tie with what is not working, it gives us to live with the now.  It makes us to be a ‘nowist’.  The past has passed.  As humans, when we open a door for ourselves, we open doors for others too.

Life, as is, is where nothing remains permanent except change.  Change is the only constant in life.  The faster we are to learn that – on realization - the more we are to become aware and life gets more tolerant, more forgiving and less judgemental.

There will be a stage in life when an act of letting things go is the best choice.  Often, life forgets when things are enough.  Often, life takes the worst pain to bring out the best change.  A future is best created when life starts to walk past the past.

It is said that when we are to choose peace, it comes with a lot of good-byes.  At times, a good-bye is a must. Peace can only live when what dies inside lives with the acceptance of its loss.  Happiness will not be achieved when we keep pretending we are not hurt, when we keep dismissing we are living in its constant pains.

Letting go comes with a birth of something new.  When something is cut, something new takes form.  All around life is with the blessing of love.  Nothing is lost even when a tie is cut.  Nothing takes life away with the act of letting go.

It is an act where we walk away with the lessons and taking the courage to face the gravity of the pain.  Letting go is about being in gratitude with the knowing, the knowledge, of what is not happening.  

It is embracing the inner feeling, be one with the soul, to shine light bright and brighter.  It is when all the old feelings and all the old thoughts are made to become aware where they are no longer serving and making things right, anymore.

Letting go is about coming home to the origin of why we are here.  It is where the soul has to take responsibility and to make things right.  Blaming anything and everything, other than oneself, will not fix for the right thing.  It will not fix one’s life.  The soul wants to be with peace, at all time.

Letting go and cutting ties do not mean to live with distances.  It is not about changing relationship with one another, or even with the minds.  It has nothing to do with disconnecting but it is about remembering that each one of us, and everything around us, has their own identities.

Such an action takes courage.  It requires strength, lots of it.  It is about taking the silent pills so that the soul can be quiet (alas!) and for it to grow to be what it is supposed to be.  It is for the soul to serve its true earthly purpose.  Such an act is far better than having the soul to get stuck in mindless everyday choices.

With letting go, we take the responsibility to cut the tie – be it mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically.  Not being able to live in the present, not being able to let go, means that we cannot engage in what we are meant to do.

When the tie is released, life regains its own flow in its own way.  The soul can be aligned with its sacred rhythm.  It reclaims its true essence and to encounter its own authenticity.  This is the only way for life to fully live in the present and that we shall live to rectify the errors within.  

Letting go is letting God.  It is a beautiful act on surrender, on submitting to faith.  It is letting God to intervene to make things right - be it mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically – so that the soul will rediscover the path and endeavours the purpose.

It is said, ‘one true friend is better than a thousand fake ones’.  It is better to be one with the soul than to disregard its existence.  It is better to be with love than to make war.  Being surrounded by the wrong things, all the time, is the loneliest thing to live by.
