Some of us think holding on makes us strong

Florida State Senate
A mixed class of 5th and 6th-graders years experienced a mock Senate session.

Privileged to be a chaperone/driver from Orlando to overnight in Tallahassee.

 

Florida State Senate
Cool to see 11-year olds speaking up.

 

 

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.  – Hermann Hesse

#Surrender

Surrender and the serenity prayer is the same thing.

Letting go of things i can’t control is the key to peace.

Letting go of what you want

Car crash skid marks
Last night at Disney Springs.

 

Letting go of what you want.

This could be the most challenging (the ultimate?) to-do item we ever tackle.

Accomplishing it brings a Zen-like peace. At least that’s what success seems like it would bring.

Not accomplishing a complete letting go of things we hold on to brings us a worry that is too difficult to bear.

The antidote, for which i am convinced, is to fully live each day – to not put off until tomorrow what we can (and should) do today.

In this manner, if we loose something or someone we have peace knowing we didn’t squander what we had (or who we had) while it was present in our life.

That’s all we can really hope for.
