Are You Willing To Let It Go

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel that you are either misunderstood or mistreated or confused or neglected/taken for granted?  If you have, you are not alone because the reality of life is that most of our life the world will not revolve around us, and we will come to the realization that we are really small in this grand scene of life.

I experience bewilderment often, and to be honest many times simply being confused and feeling like what just happened.  Other times, I feel like what did I do, or why do you do that to me or think this way in relation to me.  People don't treat others like that or have the same perception of the same exhibition of behaviors or personality.  However, with me this is what I get it.

This actually has been a common theme in my life.  One could take the victim attitude, and think that the world is always giving me some sour lemons or I can chalk it up to maybe all of life isn't fair but it still can be beautiful.  They say let people do what they would rather do in order to see what they really want to do.  This little nugget of wisdom is true when it comes to relationships in life.  People show you exactly how they see you and it is up to us to decipher that information or data point then use it wisely.

So where does that lead us. It leads us to the wisdom found in the book of James in the Bible.  In Chapter 3:17 a simple life principle advise us to incorporate the "willing to yield" attitude in life. There is nothing wrong with rejection if you allow it to teach you that perhaps this isn't worth my time, or simply just not for me.  It also, encourages us to be strong in our convictions or resolve.  You don't need the validation of anyone in life, especially if that validation alters your core personality.  Why try to be something you are not for someone who obviously doesn't value who you are?  That makes no sense.

Your value is intrinsic, and not separate from who you are.  This is not to take shots at someone else, but rather just to simply state, it may be better to allow people to neglect or mistreat you for the moment in order to see that I am still a gem, and that won't break me if you don't like me or need me, if that is the case.  I'm quite sure that all the right people can make their way into your life as all the wrong one's leave.

The key is be willing to yield and let go of things.  If you are able to do this, you might be opening up avenues for some wonderful things, situations, and people to enter your life.
