Sometimes we hold on to something so much that it cannot blossom and grow —— we want to make sure we get it right —- we want to make sure others don’t take it in a wrong way, or go the wrong direction with it. So we hold on to it keeping it inside our closed fist.

We don’t realize that by doing this we are losing out in the potential, losing out on the value that it has.

It really only is in opening up the fist and letting it be in our open hand that it can actually blossom and grow into more than we ever knew possible. Giving it air to breathe and allowing the sunshine it needs. That is the only way it will ever really become what it was meant to be.

And when we see it in our open hand and exposed to all of those things we can see it really start to take form and grow into something more beautiful than we even imagined.

So today, give yourself permission to allow the freedom it not only deserves but that it actually needs to grow and blossom.

What is the IT you hold in a closed fist to protect and to keep safe? Perhaps it feels too sacred to let it go?  Notice that as you hold it so tightly you can’t even see it, nor can you enjoy it. Others cannot see the beauty of it.

Letting go is what will allow it to blossom and become all you really want it to be.
