Let Go

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” -Lao-Tzu

“All great spirituality teaches about letting go of what you don’t need and who you are not. Then, when you can get little enough and naked enough and poor enough, you’ll find that the little place where you really are is ironically more than enough and is all that you need. At that place, you will have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to protect.” -Richard Rohr

Let go of “what it should be” or “who you should be” or “where you should be” or any of those thoughts. Those are just stories you tell yourself. They don’t serve you or your art.

When you truly let go, you will discover who you really are. And what the work really wants to be.

Put another way…

You got to drop it to find it. (It was always there.)

You gotta lose yourself to find yourself. (You were always there too. Hiding in plain sight.)
