An Affirmation for Letting GoBy Larry James

I am willing to trust. I know that to the degree I am willing to give up my search fora healthy love relationship, I can have it. I know I can have whatever I am readyand willing to receive. Individual receptivity is everything. Without it, nothing changes. With it, all things are possible. I no longer insist upon my choice.

I know that the only thing I lose when I let go of something I am afraid to live without is the fear itself. I am stronger than anything that frightens me!

I let go of the past, and I am free to think clearly and positively in the present. I am not my past.

Letting go is the natural release which always follows the realization that holding on is an energy drain and it hurts. Letting go happens effortlessly when there is no other

choice. Letting go does not mean giving up.

Letting go is a journey that never ends. Never. It only begins -- over and over again -- each time I can glimpse something higher than my own painful certainty over who I think I am. There is always something higher; a life beyond the limits of my present sight.

To see what is farther I must be willing to lift my eyesfrom their present point of focus. Release alwaysfollows revelation and real revelation is always aglimpse of something that was only just out of sight.

I know that stress inmy love relationship

exists because I insist! What I resist,persists. I am tied to whatever I avoid.

It is a mistaken belief that I must push my love relationship inthe direction I choose that keeps me in a strained and unhappyrelationship with it. Reality has its own effortless course, and I can either embrace its way or struggle endlessly with mine.

I do not need power to flow. I let go of thatpart of myself that iscertain it is better to suffer and feel like someone than it is tojust let go and quietlybe no one. I give birthto a new me that never

has to hold on to anything because it is already everything.

I dare to walk away fromall of the familiar but useless mental and emotional relationshipsthat give me a temporarybut unsatisfactory senseof self. My true identity iscalling me and to hear it I must be willing toendure, for as long asnecessary, the fear of

self-uncertainty.

This form of seemingself-abandonment eventually turns intomy greatest pleasure

as it becomes increasingly evidentthat the only thing certain about fear isthat it will always compromise me. When it comes to who I really am, thereis no compromise.

Let go of the past. The past is yesterday. It is irretrievable. Whenyou relate to the past, you relate to no one or any thing. You areliterally talking to yourself. No one else is listening. You havealready heard all you have to say about that, so, let go.

It is certifiable insanity to conjure up your ownreality based on the past and relate to it, rather thanto relate to the present which is the only reality.

I say goodbye to the past andhello to the present.

I am enthusiastic about who I am becoming! I know that no one sincerely asks for a new life until they are thoroughly dissatisfied with the old one. I am and I let go. When I allowmyself to let go of what is old, I stay true to what is new.

I believe that as with all insight, higher understanding itselfcontains not only the instructions I must follow, but thestrength I will need to carry them out.

Starting life over again is the key to a new me. I see the beauty and significance of starting over – overand over and over.

Every present moment is always new and new is always right now! The new dies to the ever-new in anendless celebrationof Life. This is it!

I live in the present. I never let the past dictatethe direction of the present moment. I givemy best to my endeavors.What lies ahead for me can only be good. True peace and harmony are a part of who I am.

I have come to the realization that whatis possible for me tobecome only truly changes when I amwilling to see whatis impossible for meto continue being.

My true nature is already fully independent andflying freely. I have found my wings. I let go andlet God. And so it is.
