Letting Go – Day 25
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single one of you for helping me heal. …’
Through his page he sends daily updates filled with humor, compassion and optimistic inspiration. Some encourage you to conquer your fears, others to let go of the old records playing in your head, and others to just ‘be awesome.’ For me, it’s a daily joy to see what he’s suggesting in the way of letting go.
He hasn’t always been so optimistic; his perspective has grown out of a battle with colon cancer and the scary road that disease can take you down. He speaks openly and honestly about the fear of facing potential death and what happens when you choose to let go of that for a whole new point of view. He talks about learning to channel the fear energy into something else, something that gives you joy or hope; in his case, running.
I’m handing this over to Jim to tell you his story and inspire you in different ways. I’ve chosen two of his blog articles which I feel beautifully demonstrate his perspective on letting go of one way of seeing yourself/your reality and adopting another one.
