Are You Willing to Let Go of What's Good?

Let's say you have a closet full of clothes. Some you probably haven't worn in years. Your closet is so full and cluttered that there's no room for new clothes. If you want to make room for your new, more stylish clothes, you have to be willing to discard the old stuff in you closet to make room for the new ones.

It's like that for everything in our life. Our unwillingness to let go of what we have creates a block that prevents us from receiving better things.

Perhaps you're holding on to a relationship because you're afraid you won't find someone else. By holding on to it, you cannot make room for someone better to enter your life.

Sometimes it's not just about letting go of what is not good in our life. Sometimes we may even have to be willing to let go of what's good to make space for what's great.

So ask yourself what you're willing to let go and make space for something great. Get a pen and paper. Sit down and write down the following.

"I now choose to let go of ______________ and make space for magic to occur."

Feel free to let go of as many things as you want to. And you might want to repeat this exercise regularly.
