No More Claw Marks

There’s a story about an experienced mountain climber who trips, falls, and is clinging precariously to the side of a ledge.

“Help me, God,” she cries.

Suddenly she hears a voice.

“I’ll help you Sadie, but first you must do one thing,”

“I’ll do anything,” she says.

And the voice replies, “You gotta’ let go of the ledge.”

That’s what adversity continually calls us to do: Release what is holding us back or what we’re clinging to.

If you’re struggling with a seemingly insoluble problem, ask yourself, right now: What do I need to let go of? And see what comes up.

It may be something tangible, like a job, a relationship, a geographic location. Or it could be an attitude, belief or emotion, like anger, fear, or self-doubt.

I promise you one thing: it’ll probably be something you’re very afraid to give up. Why is this important? Because…

...letting go creates space for something new to enter.

What do you suspect you need to let go of? Leave me a comment below.

    I NEED to let go of fear of the unknown and self doubt, along with my apartment in Brooklyn, New York because it’s been detrimental to my emotional and mental well-being. I’m getting ready to move to an entirely new state that will be a huge transition for me, but I’m so ready for something new and whatever is for my highest and best good. Thank you Barbara 🙏🏻.

    I need to let go of a few things, so that I can finally finish something important next year. Sadly, some of the things I need to let go of are things I enjoy, but not finishing this has been the big white elephant in my room.

    Thanks for your holiday saving tips. No presents 🎁 for me thank you. Don’t want any stuff. Going away on a National Lampoons Christmas vacation and donating money to a charity.

    I remember a story like this in your Secrets of Six Figure Women. Wow, is it hard to do! I was laid off the day after my 60th birthday and I am contemplating what I now need to let go of to find a job for the next 5 years. I am taking a serious look at my identity and where I feel fear. This post is so timely!
    Thanks for all of your work and Merry Christmas.
