Letting Go

Are you willing to let go of mistakes?
Are you willing to let go of addiction?
Are you willing to let go of attachments?
Are you willing to let go of limiting beliefs?

Are you willing to let go of neediness?
Are you willing to let go of dependency?
Are you willing to let go of fear?
Are you willing to let go of the past? 

Are you willing to let go of resentment?
Are you willing to let go of anger?
Are you willing to let go of hurt?
Are you willing to let go of self pity?

Are you willing to let go of the need to be right?
Are you willing to let go of making others wrong?
Are you willing to let go of what is false?
Are you willing to let go of what no longer serves?

Are you willing to let people go who are called to leave?
Are you willing to let go of opinions and advice?
Are you willing to let go of expectations?
Are you willing to let go of judgments?

As you know we all experience all of these many times in life.
You well know we have learned to believe what we feel and make it real.
You may claim to know what is best for others even when our own life is a mess.
You and all of us need to learn to start with first things first.

First we need to clear our own plate.
We need to heed our own advice.
We need to live our very best.
We need to clean up our act.

Begin with your own peace of mind.
Begin with your own piece of land.
Begin with your own responsibilities.
Begin with fulfilling your own goals and integrity.

When you begin with yourself first, you will be respected.
When you begin with your own life choices, you will be heard.
When you begin by being all you want to be, others can see and believe.
When you begin by loving, learning and letting go with full appreciation of you, others will, too! 

Loving you by taking impeccable care of me and my integrity,
Betty Lue
