Letting go takes a leap of faith. It takes a leap. An action. Willingness without action is fantasy. Sometimes you have to "Act as if". Act first, and let the feeling follow behind. Act as if you're complete, not lonely, and completely loveable...and slowly but surely the belief that those things are true will follow. The darker sides of our spirits are just as beautiful as the lighter ones. They in fact are not dark sides. They are the light sides with the light switch turned off. I have a choice today to turn the light switch on. To see the light that is inherent in every minute of darkness. Sorrow is human, and natural, and necessary but it is not forever, because every burnt out lightbulb is eventually replaced, if we are willing. Today I will act as if i am willing to replace the light bulb. I will be with sadness, anger, fear, dissapointment, even moments of deep gratitude and see that every light and dark moment are ephemeral. Like life and its experiences. I reside in the impermanence, in the never-ending transition, and this is an entirely safe place. Feelings aren't shameful, they are human. Can I consider today that my humanness is my best quality?
