You have to let go to grow

Mentoring can come from the most unlikely places.

Late last year, I noticed one of our house plants was losing leaves. Given the time of year, I thought perhaps he needed a little more natural light so I picked him up and moved him over to our breakfast area which faces east and has lots of windows.

As I was talking to him and removing the dead leaves, I received the words “you have to let go to grow”.

(Yes, I talk to plants as well as all life forms and yes, they ‘talk’ to us when you are tuned into them. And no, it’s not woo-woo….remember, everything is energy. )

Like a true mentor, his words could not have come at a better time.

His words were not only to explain why he was losing leaves, but his words were also meant for me too!

He was telling me that just as he needed to let go of old leaves in order to expand, I needed to let go as well.

Why?

I had been holding myself back and he called me on it.

His words spoke directly to me and I knew at that moment, it was time to let go.

In that moment, I knew that everything would be fine.

I took the leap and the net appeared.

I’m so glad I did.

How about you?

Are you ready to let go to grow? Are you ready to let go of what is holding you back? What leaves do you need to lose?

I’d love to hear your story.
