Eventually, we all need to let go of how we wish things had been, the mistakes we’ve made along the way, the mistakes others have made, and situations we’ve outgrown. We tend to hang on to the past, hoping that wishcraft will magically change what has gone by.
No matter what it is, letting go can be scary because we step into the unknown; we let go of what is familiar and step out of our comfort zone. If we really look, we can see that comfort zones are often not that comfortable; they are just familiar.
I’ve often discovered that I am willing to “take the leap” when the pain of hanging on becomes greater than my fear of the unknown. It is when I leap that I find I had wings all along. The more I’ve done this, the less I’m afraid of the unknown, and I don’t need the pain to squeeze me to leap. I am willing to let go and jump more quickly because I know the unknown has beautiful things to show me. I want to go.
Be gentle with yourself if you’re not there yet. It’s not something we can force, but we can begin to ask ourselves if maybe holding on is actually harder and more painful than letting go. Just asking this question with honesty and reflection will begin to open the way.

Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zones for a while in order to learn something new. It’s called being open-minded.

So very true! The comfort zone even though not always easy, gives us just that; comfort. Change is scary because of the unknown. Sometimes, we do need that push to take those steps, even if they are real small steps. Alot of times, that change turns out amazing too 🥰
