On Transformation, Letting Go

Any transformation requires a letting go, and to let go, one must see the truth of what their reality is built upon.

Letting go requires such unfathomable truth-seeing, that we recognise in clarity and utmost discernment, how all the things we cling to, keep us from experiencing life the way in which we long to.

Sometimes those can be hard truths; to see how certain people, places and habitual tendencies that we use for comfort, and know as comfort — do us such a disservice, and more than anything keep us stuck and looping, feeling a sense of lack lustre and at times even miserable.

This may mean that we have to leave a relationship, this may mean that we need to change jobs, or this may mean that we need to completely change our routine.

Or, this may mean we are required to look so deeply at ourselves and the part that we play, and take full responsibility for the ways in which we enable these experiences to perpetuate within our lives.

All things that require initial pain, discomfort and sometimes even heartache.

It ultimately may require an ending of our world as we know it.

But deep down, we cannot escape the truth — we keep coming back to that same point of recognition.

The scary thing about this is, that this requires effort, it requires commitment — but more than anything it requires us to love ourselves so much, that we cannot accept any excuses that will get in the way of making those changes, or hinder us from seeing the truth.

It takes will power.

And, a dissolution of old and outdated philosophies that we may hold.

In all honestly, long term — the feelings felt for not embracing transformation are far more challenging to hold, than the initial fear we are required to experience, to bridge ourselves into our new reality.

Transformation begs us to surrender. It asks us to trust life so deeply, that what is meant for us will always stay, and more than anything it will always find us — amidst all perceivable odds, insecurities and unknowns.
