Too often, faced with new opportunities we freeze, procrastinate, then do nothing. That critical voice of self-doubt needles, reminding where we failed before…remember how stupid you felt… you’re too old… too fat… too thin…too…
Will this matter when on our death bed? Will we regret the things never tried or said? When does this start, this voice, the fear of failure? Consider childhood: did you wait before jumping into that glorious muddy puddle? We lived in the moment as yet unaware of Eckhart Tolle and The Power of Now. Where does that carefree child go? What age do values kick in that stop us?
Now jumping in puddles is not for everyone but the idea of letting go is something many consider and some actually do it. Apple founder Steve Jobs let go of university, joined a calligraphy course, and the rest is history. How long was the Apple gestation period? Personally, no idea…but for me, life would look very different had Apple products not been born.
Nature abhors a vacuum (‘horror vacui’) - attributed to Aristotle - sounds deep, even too hard to grasp if considered through the language of physics, but easier looking at a cleared garden, knowing new weeds take over if not kept up. The laws of nature do not seem to allow letting go to be an an unending nothingness, like floating in space forever and ever. Amen.
