“There are three things we have to let go of. The first is the compulsion to be successful. Second, is the compulsion to be right-especially theologically right. (That's merely an ego trip, and because of this "need" churches split in half, with both parties prisoners of their own egos.) Finally, there is the compulsion to be powerful, to have everything under control.” NeedsFirstsThreeChurchPowerfulPartyHalfSuccessfulLetting GoEgoBeing SuccessfulPrisonerSplitsThree ThingsCompulsionEgo Trip Author:Richard Rohr
“Now I meditate twice a day for half an hour. In meditation, I can let go of everything. I'm not Hugh Jackman. I'm not a dad. I'm not a husband.

“I don't want to read more into it than there is. I try not to overanalyze anymore, as it tends to make me self-centered.

“I worry hope will crush me, the way love has so many times before. Are they so different, hope and love? O & E in the same place, half of the other in each word. Both swimming in unknowns. I’ve been through the big changes. These ones should seem easier in comparison, I should be more prepared, but they don’t and I’m not. Sometimes I feel like a broken-wing butterfly, clinging to a window screen. Afraid to let go. Afraid to stay. Wondering how much wing is enough to fly.” WayFeelsShouldDifferentSometimesEnoughBigsSeemsHalfWonderWorryBrokenEasierLetting GoWindowAnd LoveWingsPreparedScreensCrushComparisonSwimmingButterflyClingingHope And LoveBig ChangesBroken Wings Author:Erin Morgenstern

“It is finally when you let go of what people expect you to be and people's perceptions of you that you're able to be the version of yourself that you're supposed to be - like in God's eyes. It doesn't matter if you're half crazy, or eccentric, or whatever it is - that you have to be true to who you were born to be.” PeopleIfsMatterEyeAbleBornHalfCrazyLetting GoPerceptionExpectationsVersionsBeing TrueSupposed To BeEccentric Author:Gwyneth Paltrow
“Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep. It's always in the middle of the night, or you're half-awake or tired, when your critical faculties are switched off. So letting go is what the whole game is. Every time you try to put your finger on it, it slips away. You turn on the lights and the cockroaches run away. You can never grasp them...” TryingWholeLightRunningNightSongTurnsGamesSleepHalfMiddleLetting GoTiredFingersCriticalGet UpAwakeDemonFacultySongwritingSlipsRunning AwayPossessedTurn-onGoing To SleepMiddle Of The NightCockroaches Author:John Lennon
