Recognizing when it’s time to let go is not always easy. It’s a refined sort of thing. We don’t contemplate the delicate nature of life, which always includes death. Everything that has seemed to have been “taken away” from you is not cruelty when the possessive case belongs to no one.
Start giving things up, voluntarily, and see what I’m talking about. Notice when it’s time. Get involved in the clearing process. It frees you up. Always be willing. You can walk away – when it’s time. But if it’s not time, hold the course, despite the “signs” of decay, outwardly.
How do I know it’s time? Go within and find out. Do you really want this job, this relationship, or this circumstance? And can you see yourself developing a bright future? Is your vision evolving? Or is it status quo and comfy, like a coffin? Many long term relationships, and jobs, etc. have gotten bitter and died on the vine. I see dead people – everywhere.
Many people are working with relationships on life-support. “It” has died. The spark, the zest, and the vision, and so have they. Can you recognize this death? Many of us have no zest for our own being, much less the extension of that being – relationships and situations. A priority of your spiritual development is noticing when “it’s time.” Do I keep on keeping on cultivating and nourishing? If there is no vision, no passion, no evolution, no enthusiasm – bury it.
However, desire and vision burn when there is life. Despite the outward “signs,” if the desire and enthusiastic vision still smolders within you, trust yourself and stay the course.
You know what’s dying, what is dead, and what’s living. If the desire and vision are alive, what you want to will remain until “it’s time.”
When it’s time, plug the damn plug! Otherwise, feed it, prune it, and watch it flourish.
