L - Laugh. Love. Learn to let go.

Posted by Claudia Moser on 7:39 AM in , , , ,


Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
-- Oprah Winfrey

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
-- Lao Tzu

Think about any attachments that are depleting your emotional reserves. Consider letting them go.
-- Oprah Winfrey

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
-- Lao Tzu

Great 'L' post and I love the quotes. That Oprah is a pretty smart lady.
As humans we have a very hard time, letting go.

This is so true. Once I let go of the whole ultra traditional path, I got my publisher! Who knew?!

I find letting go to be hard - but it is needful. Letting go of my daughters when they became adults was a learning experience.

Nice quotes. My favourite is one I made up myself .. Go with the flow, be Zen, and let it go. It's helped me a lot in difficult situations and in dealing with difficult people.

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
