Learning to Let Go!

Learning to Let Go!

The story is told of a psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"


Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.


She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."


She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."


Remember to let it go... go ahead put the glass down....

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead... (Phil 3:13)

Just do it...

Let go of hurt, pain, offences, rejections, disappointments, denials, abuse, what people said or done ...

Let go of the unforgiveness, bitterness, anxiety, doubt, fear of tomorrow, worry about yesterday's failures, past sins and history of shame....

Let go of everything weighing you down, keeping you back, limiting your ability to soar like an eagle.... The sky is the limit!

Go ahead and put that glass down!
