"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
A fabulous quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
I found myself quietly and slowly letting go of things that matter to me. How can that be good? Especially for things that I really care.
Being true to myself and do what feels right for me are not an easy task. How true I can be to myself when I have so many things that cling on me.
To be free, I need to learn to detach myself. I have to learn not to care and worry too much about the outcome. Work, family, friends, status, image, perception, money and many more should not determine who I really am. Be it with people expectations.
I found this over the net;
“One evening, bored with my moping, my friend tuned in the local alternative radio station, which happened to be broadcasting Ram Dass. He was telling a famous anecdote about the way you catch a monkey in India. You drop a handful of nuts into a jar with a small opening, he explained. The monkey puts his hand into the jar, grabs the nuts, and then finds that he can't get his fist out through the opening. If the monkey would just let go of the nuts, he could escape. But he won't."
If I refer back to the quote, does that mean my life begins to end soon?
