Letting Go. . .

By Gwen

The concept of letting go is far easier to talk about than to execute. Many [current] six-figure women admitted remaining in unfavorable situations, some holding tighter or dangling longer than others. And when they eventually did let go, it wasn’t without second thoughts or stabs of doubt.

It took management consultant Carol Anderson two years to dissolve a business relationship even though it was not healthy. “Those were the worst years I ever had financially. I didn’t have a single client in sight, only four thousand dollars in the bank, and no idea what I’d do next,” she said.

Finally, when she screwed up the courage to leave the situation, she got a call “out of the blue” from a colleague, which resulted in a slew of business. She marks her financial success from the moment she stopped doing something that wasn’t good for her and trusted her resourcefulness to figure out what to do next. “I believe that life works when you’re true to yourself and it doesn’t when you’re not. But I have to keep reminding myself of that all the time.”

Amazing coincidences so often occur as soon as people let go. There’s a perfectly valid explanation. While “intention” is a magnet that attracts what we want, “letting go” provides the space for our desire to manifest.
