There are times when we just have to learn to let go. We may cling to something... a person, an ideal, an object... but there may come a point when you have to put faith in your Higher Power and let go. I find my self clinging often. I dig my teeth and my heels in and refuse to let go of my way. I can be a stubborn bitch if I want things my way. I cry, I yell, I argue and fight and threaten. I can be manipulative in the worst way. And I will defend my behavior as right. Because when I get in that mood, no one else could possibly know better than me. No one could possibly understand the situation better than me. And the kicker is... I may be right. But it may not be the only right thing. The other party may have a vaild point or idea. They may have an opinion that is perfectly legit. They may see a better, smarter or safer way to do things. But I get so blinded by my self rightousness, I can't see the sense in what they are saying. So my goal for myself is to learn to let go. To learn to see from someone elses point of view. To hear their thoughts with an open mind and an open heart. To learn to compromise. Because in the end I am only hurting myself and I am tired of being hurt. I need to see the fear that motivates my selfish attitudes and to walk through it. I will come out the other side a better and stronger person.
