In our lives , often marked by periods of persistent change , deep rooted introspection and long standing decisions , the coin flip is often between holidng on and letting go .
In one of the most remarkable pieces of advice ever given to me , I was told that it would be very easy to let go and move on . It would also be very easy to Hold on and never let go . Its making the decision that would be exhausting .
I struggle with it , everyday .
As humans I guess our primary instict is to make things work . That with good will , good intention and good actions , we can be the change and change the world . I guess to compensate - the world has a life of its own ..and often our energy and devtion is not only misplaced but could also be better served elsewhere . But how soon is soon - how soon is one persons letting go ..
another persons giving up ?
If Edison would have stopped on his 699th attempt and decided to do something else ..I guess I would be trying this in the dark ..better so ..probably would not be typing this at all .
So I guess Like him , I too tell myself everynight that I should not give up or let go ..that I should hang in there , that tommorrow will be different ..and meanwhile ..I havent failed ..I;ve just found another way that doesnt work .
Tommorrow will be another day , another way .
