Being a constant reader of the Elephant Journal, not surprisingly I found an article that really resonated with me. Here is an excerpt:
He asked a wise person for advice and was told to forget everything, to forget his biography and just be—to discover himself in this way, in the shining light of the present moment (my interpretation).
The thought panicked him (and me, by proxy).
How can I stay myself if I willingly forget all that I was? he asked.
And he was told: the important stuff stays.
The important stuff stays.
I love that, the important stuff stays. I am going to make that my mantra for letting go.
In case you are interested, here is the link to the full article.
