Just Let Go

The other day my friend told me to let go.... he told me not to be so worried about what I'm doing, or what I look like, but to just let myself go once in awhile. This really got me thinking. Maybe I should let go. Maybe I should do something crazy, just so I can say I did. I've got many long years ahead of me, and plenty of time to live a fun and happy life.

Sometimes, an opportunity only knocks at the door once, and if you don't answer it at that particular moment, then you'll never get another chance. Life is tough, and most of the time we spend our days wondering why things go the way they do.

After thinking for awhile I'm finally realizing that maybe thinking about this so much, is wasting the time in which we could be going out and making the days go better. We're wasting the time we have here on Earth. By attempting to figure out why life goes the way it does, we lose time when we could be having fun, and living our lives to the fullest.

We are only here for a short amount of time. An average of 60-90 years seems long, but it goes faster then we realize. It's so incredibly important to live every day to it's fullest potential. When you're in your last years and laying on your death bed, do you want to look back and think of things that you wished you had done?

I don't know about you but I want to look back and remember all the times when I let myself go, and had fun. I want to remember the times when I actually let myself be open to try new things, and open the door to wonderful opportunities.

Life is only wonderful if you leave yourself open to be part of it. Think about it.

Go out and create some good healthy memories.

Dear Ralline:

Thanks for sharing with me your note. I believe in it too and have been implementing the same for many years now. Thus, I live a happy, interesting and funny life full of ups and downs but keeps on swinging back to where that someone up there wants me to go.

In our own language, just let go means bahala na.

Thanks and best regards. Kindly say my regards to your mom, dad and other members of your family.
