Don’t Stay in Jail When You Have the Keys

Letting Go Series

We sometimes find ourselves saying something on the order of:

• I have an awful job, but I can’t do anything about it
• I have this relationship that is toxic, but I can’t do anything about it
• I have unbearable stress in my life, but I can’t do anything about it

---

The truth is that there are very few situations in life where we are so completely powerless and stuck that nothing can be changed.
In most cases we can make fundamental changes that can transform our lives for the better. Our problem is with our self-limiting belief systems that keep us and hold us in place, even though a situation harms us emotionally and may even cause us physical pain from stress and tension.
Most people who have made significant and lasting change in their lives, do not  look back and say: I wish I still had that terrible job, that harmful relationship or that intolerable stress in my life.
Every day the door is open for us to stand up and walk through when we are ready to change the parts of our lives that are no longer working for us. We can think our options through thoroughly, make a complete plan, step through the door and begin to set ourselves free.
