You are not alone. Whatever it is that you are going through, do not lose your heart. Do not forget who you are. Do not tear yourself down. It is going to be alright.

No matter how tough, it is not going to be here forever. It will go away.

Struggling is not a crime. It is not going to destroy you. It is going to make you stronger. It is going to make you smarter. It is going to make you calmer.

Do not lose your heart. Do not blame other people for what you are going through in your life.

Because you do not know what they are going through. They are going through things. But they are not like yours.

According to Ray Dalio, ‘… we all struggle with different things at different times in our lives….’ He is right. No one is free.

Whatever it is that is keeping you up at night, just know that it is not going to be here forever.

All you need to do is to take care of yourself.

When you take care of yourself, when you are doing well, when you are living well, when you are thinking well,

when you are loving well, other things will follow.

What Are You Still Holding On To?

‘Holding on is not the same as taking care of what you value or protecting that which is yours.’ – Iyanla Vanzant

To you, what does ‘holding on’ mean? Does it mean taking care of what you have? Does it mean fighting to defend what you already have?

Why do we even hold on to things that we know are not helping us? Why?

Because we don’t want to lose our things. We want what we already to be there, to stay with us. We don’t want to lose them. We love what we have.

Guess what, if you don’t let go, nothing is going to come in. To let go is to let in. If you want to see new things in your life, you must let go of the old ones.

You cannot be in two places at the same time. That is not possible. If you want to be good at what you are doing, you will have to let go of one.

Letting go means freedom. It won’t hurt you. Instead, letting go is a blessing.

Remember why you are here. Your life matters. You are not here to protect what is not worth protecting. You are here to live your life, to be who you are, to do what you love to do.

If you do not want to let go of what is no longer helping you, what you need won’t be able to get to you.

For example, to grow, you must do whatever you can to make it to where you can make your dreams happen. Do not let things hold you back. And do not hold yourself back by holding on to things that have no power to change your life.

The question is, ‘What are you holding on to?’ Whatever it is that you think in your life that you are still holding on to, if it is not helping you, if it is not getting you closer to your dreams, you MUST let it leave your life.

Because you don’t have time to waste. Because you life matters. Because you want to advanve to your next level.

In the words of Iyanla Vanzant, ‘When you can stop holding on, you begin to realize that your blessings cannot be taken away, nor will they go away until the Universe is ready to up the ante.‘ She is right.

You can stop holding on. You can do it when you start small. Do not rush yourself. Because ‘rushing leads to nowhere.’
