Let it go, let it flow

Releasing attachment to what others think is so liberating. also empowering. And also, it helps us figure out who we really are. When we let go of our habit of putting the opinions and values of others ahead of what we really believe, sometimes we're left with this kind of dead silence inside. It's as if Elvis had left the building. that voice inside, our internal voice of truth, is still there, but could be napping. Or waiting to see if you really want to hear what it has to say. So be patient, and develop that relationship with yourself. It's worth the time and energy. Think about it - all that energy we put into trying to cultivate a relationship with another person - if we put half of that into knowing who we really are, we'd have completely different lives! And when I look back on most of my "big" relationships - you know the ones I spent hours crying about and hours in therapy about, well, most of my energy was spent trying to change them. So instead of wasting all that precious energy - invest it in the One who will always tell you the truth and be there for you. your Self.
