There was a saying I read long ago - if you love someone set them free. If they come back they are yours. If they don't, they were never yours. This is for people in love.
I'm talking of something different - let go of things that trouble you. Incidents you wished never happened, people you wished never came in your life, memories that haunt you in loneliness.
Think you are holding a balloon for each of these incidents. They may be stuck to your finger with a sticky tape. They may be hard to get rid of but certainly not impossible. One by one take each balloon, wiggle your finger and let them go.
Once all of them are gone, you have less baggage. After few days find more balloons. If one of the previous balloon is back, that means you have not let them go. Do it again.
Today was a PTM. I usually get a bit hassled up since I get comments like he could do better. I still did. But somehow it didn't bother me that much. I felt I was sitting in the audience and there was a performance going on. In the end, I held 'could do better ' comments in a red balloon and let go!
I used all my recipes so far - let go of my expectations and changed my perspective. Doesn't mean that I don't care about my child results. But I only want to be a guiding soul - it's his life. No matter how hard I push, nothing will change unless the child wants to change intrinsically.
So am I happy today? Yes. I applied my recipes.
