Stuart Wilde says “LET … IT … GO!”
Enjoy the Space that Comes with Giving Up and Letting Go … Align Yourself with Love, not Revenge!
If you don’t ‘let it go’ you will never grow. William McMullin
There’s a great ‘Wealthy Life’ Motto I just love, it’s helped me move through challenges with people both personally and professionally (coaching and mentoring can be challenging at times). The Wealth Life Motto is “If you dont have anything valuable and helpful to say to or about someone, best you learn how to let IT go.” (IT being whatever YOUR issue is with that other person – YES, it’s YOUR Issue.) I know that’s hard to hear but it’s true. The moment YOU let it go, it exists no longer for you.
We can make ourselves emotional wrecks and labour over experiences that happened years, months, weeks and even days ago. These experiences can bring you nothing but an inner misery. Now for some people, that might be what they actually like – you know there’s comfort in familiar experiences. Life for them is a series of inner misery experiences, because they have never learned how to LET GO!. BUT IF YOU REALLY want to live an Extraordinary Life, a Wealthy Life, then you gotta behave like an extraordinary person and learn to let it go … with love.
Here’s a quick insight from one of my favorite Mentors and Authors, Stuart Wilde. Here he talks about people (you and me when we’re angry) being like a Swamp Monster because we refuse to “Let It Go”. “If I fight with you … we both get held back ….”
(Turn up the volume, he speaks very softly … and his point is made right away. I had to replay it a few times to catch the first few lines.)
Have a disposition of COMPASSION and TENDERNESS for Yourself and for Others
… an act of Peace and Forgiveness … and Self-Love
Letting Go is NOT Easy for many people – they can spend years angry and unforgiving – and of course attract more of THAT kind of experience in to their lives. I think alot of people make themselves sick, mentally, physically and emotionally with anger. Sometimes we ’pick fights’ for the sake of the fight, when you could just move on. (I know I’ve done it.) We’re a funny lot aren’t we … wonder what we look like as a species being ‘studied’?
It’s time to lift a weight off your shoulders, your mind and your heart … and Let It Go, with Love. Teach Your Children by how you LIVE, not by what you say.
Here’s a process I have gone through personally to find forgiveness for my own mistakes and my perceived mistakes of others, to help me and them Move On.
I imagine a small version of the person and that they are floating in a bubble just touching the palm of my hand at around eye level in front of me. I then take a few deep breaths in and out and as I’m inhaling and exhaling, I’m saying to myself “I’m breathing in love for me, I’m breathing out love for you“. I do that a few times. Then on an outwards breath, I blow onto the bubble and the person to ‘float’ them away from me. I do it with a genuine smile on my face and I say these words to myself “I let you go with love” and like watching a helium-filled balloon disappear in to the distance, I watch them being blown away until I can see them no more.
I do this whole process when I am alone and feeling like I would like and could do with some more self love. This is particularly evident if I’m awake thinking about someone or something or I’ve driven home mulling over a bad phone call or situation. It brings an inner peace and love and puts a smile of contentment and love back in to my heart and my face.
Unfortunately many people you encounter in your life will blame you, abuse you and accuse you – for their misery. A quick and easy process like the one I use can help you keep centered and aligned with love … for the sake of you and the people that really love you – let those that love you experience your true inner beauty and do not let the sum of what other’s misery might project on you to be representative of you. YOUR LIFE AND THE GIFT YOU HAVE TO SHARE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT!
If you cant fix it, LET GO … WITH LOVE and MOVE ON!

If a person wore the same clothes everyday we would wonder about that person. However, we hold on to the same old thoughts all of our lives and never think twice. And since we won’t let go we become a prisoner in a cell of our past. The key is to “Let Go”. Love heals not hurts. When we open our hearts to love we heal ourselves and sometimes we heal others in ways that we maynot even be unaware of.
Thanks William – I love “Love heals not hurts” … Let Go with Love is an excellent mantra we can all take from that. Thanks for sharing. xo
It’s so true that we expand our world by letting go. As you say Jen, we have all at some time or other been on the other end of someone’s anger, misery or abuse – rather than take on those burdens the ultimate compassionate response is to wait till they are finished and touch their arm and say you are sorry they are having a bad day. Validation is what we all want. Paraphrasing angry words is another way to calm a situation. There will always be angry hurt people out there – not letting it touch you in a negative way is the key. Learning to ‘rise above and live in the eye of the storm’ has been one the most important lessons in my life. Your posts are creating a lovely community of wisdom.

Letting go is always hard but often after we do, we wonder why it took so long to let go. I love your way of putting people in a bubble and letting go with love.
Thank You for another inspiring post.

Thanks Sue, I’ve used the ‘bubble’ release process many times, it’s self empowering and edifiying of the other person too, even though they no longer serve you. Appreciate your contribution … again! Love you Lovely Lady – Clients like you remind me how fortunate I really am as a coach and mentor. Thanks Sue … again! xox
Just..let…it…go! A motto for life, and YES! When we have an issue – we have it! therefore it is up to us to put down that load of rubbish we have been carrying around with us, lighten our load and move on with a lighter step!
I’ve finally learned how to let go only a few months ago. I used to hold on to a lot of energies inside me and they had been all hurting me in the past as all the negative energies I held inside would come back to me like a boomerang and it became a vicious circle until I finally let go then I can finally have more peace and joy.
Thank you for this inspiring article and video.
