[00:00:00] Bruce Springsteen said, A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want

[00:00:16] to become and start being the man you want to be.

[00:00:21] Hello Sunshine and how are each one of you doing?

[00:00:24] You don't got me thinking.

[00:00:29] One of the hardest decisions in life is to figure out whether you should stay or leave

[00:00:36] and move on.

[00:00:38] Taking the perfect timing or walking away can sometimes be a tough decision to make.

[00:00:45] From a job, a relationship, a habit, a party, it may not always be obvious and it is rarely

[00:00:52] ever crystal clear.

[00:00:55] Even in cases when the situation and question is really hurting us, sometimes we hold back.

[00:01:02] We stay in bad relationships.

[00:01:04] We stay in jobs that crush our souls and we stay in friendships that don't serve us.

[00:01:10] We stay because walking away seems tougher.

[00:01:14] And most of us are creatures of habit.

[00:01:18] Human beings are lovers of the familiar aren't we?

[00:01:22] When we know something feels safe, even if we know it's no longer serving us, we

[00:01:27] still choose to stay.

[00:01:28] There is something very beautiful I read.

[00:01:33] Marked yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes

[00:01:38] you happy.

[00:01:40] If you aren't being treated with love and respect, check your price type.

[00:01:45] Maybe you've marked yourself down.

[00:01:48] It's you who tells people what your worth is.

[00:01:52] Get off of the clearance rack and get behind the glass where they keep the value.

[00:01:57] This was such a powerful port.

[00:02:00] The truth is, when we decide that we want to take responsibility for our lives, we stop

[00:02:07] spending time the way we used to.

[00:02:10] Our outlook, our values, the way we look at things, our perspectives, everything changes.

[00:02:17] And with that comes a little bit of guilt.

[00:02:20] We feel that since we are changing and we want to change things around us, we want

[00:02:26] to change things for the people around us too.

[00:02:29] And that's when we get stuck in this pattern.

[00:02:33] We continue being there for a friend who does not know how to value the friendship.

[00:02:38] We continue being in a relationship that is hurting us.

[00:02:42] We continue doing that job that is completely killing our spirit.

[00:02:47] We continue being a parent to a parent sometimes.

[00:02:51] We try to change people and the way they do things but sometimes we need to step back.

[00:02:58] Suffering sometimes stems from holding on to that which does not serve us.

[00:03:04] It may seem comforting, it may seem familiar to hold on to these things and that's largely

[00:03:09] fear that keeps us holding on to those things.

[00:03:13] But when we realize all we have to do is let go.

[00:03:17] It can be extremely liberating.

[00:03:20] You know a friend of mine who was studying to be a counsellor had said something to me

[00:03:24] one day.

[00:03:25] She said, when we are younger, we play with those toys and we rarely play with those toys

[00:03:31] now that we are adults do we?

[00:03:33] We don't.

[00:03:34] The store is no longer servers and so we've left them behind.

[00:03:38] Why don't we do that with all of these relationships or situations that we seem

[00:03:43] to know without prone?

[00:03:44] In fact, we know without prone.

[00:03:48] So each one of us now needs to take stock of our current circumstances and investigate these

[00:03:54] areas which cause us to be unhappy and unfulfilled.

[00:04:00] Reflect on the relationships that draw the energy away from you and leave you feeling

[00:04:04] empty and uninspired.

[00:04:08] Make a commitment to yourself that you want to be in a happier place, that you want

[00:04:12] to start attracting the people that you wish to spend your time with and understand

[00:04:17] that if you want to do that, you have to understand the principle of like attracts

[00:04:21] like if you desire to have more love, honest and trustworthy connections in your

[00:04:25] life and it stands to reason you must also become the embodiment of all of

[00:04:30] these qualities and values yourself.

[00:04:33] Letting go is an act of far greater power than holding on.

[00:04:39] So here's wishing each one of us who's struggling with letting go of very

[00:04:43] powerful week ahead.

[00:04:45] Maybe all learn to stop holding on to things that dim the light within us.

[00:04:50] Maybe all embrace the present for what it is.

[00:04:54] Have a great week all the fuel and take good care of yourselves.

[00:04:57] We'll speak to you again next week and until then love all of you all so much.
