A lot is written about it, and I am not the only one who says that letting go is so important. But I think that many people don't understand exactly what letting go means.
To let go means to be "desireless" or to be at peace with a situation.
You have accepted and embraced the situation to the extent that it no longer "hurts" you.
Sometimes it's hard for us to let go and sometimes it's very easy. Why is that? When we find it difficult to let go, it is because we have "lost" several things at once.
For example, we lost a job. With that, we have lost our self-confidence. We have lost colleagues and we have also lost our salary. Maybe also our image and self-esteem. Some people need years to "rebuild" themselves after such a loss.
What if one simply has the wrong perspective in such a situation? What if one should rather see the loss of one's job as an opportunity for something much better to come? What if in reality it is not a loss at all, but a real opportunity?
Our mind is a true master at misinterpreting situations.
If you have just lost something, focus on the question: What have I gained from this place? Ask yourself this question every day, because you may not see it at first. Sometimes you don't realise the answer until years later, but thanks to this question you may realise it very soon.
