The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go - Motivational Speech - Jill Sherer Murray

The promise I made to myself when I was 41 that I would never take time for granted again, instead I would use it to let go and create space for the things I really wanted and For what matters most here's five ways to let go. I know how to work because I still use them every day. Now I stop taking things personally. I spent a lot of time wondering why Hector didn't love me enough to marry me until I realized that his inability to commit had less to do with me. and more to do with his duty to his family, now I'm not saying that it wasn't a hard pill to swallow, but there was a lot of peace in knowing that it was his problem and not some defect in me, people are not giving you what you want or if they are just acting out most of the time that's their problem not yours leave aside what other people think so after my husband and I dated for a couple of months I took him home so that he could meet my parents, thank you, he is very handsome my mother said: you know, Ted Bundy is very handsome.

He could have let this influence my actions. He could have let my imagination run wild with thoughts of my new bow stabbing me while he slept, but instead I just chalked it up to my mother. It's a rule in business that every time you post something, ten percent of the people will hate it, eighty percent will be indifferent, and ten percent will be your raving fans, and raving fans are awesome, but if someone doesn't He's an enthusiastic fan, that's okay. also three stop trying to be something you're not now I have this big crazy personality that I actually call big some people really like big some people are fascinated by it the same way they are fascinated by jugglers and others just run away but like that am.

I've tried to tone it down big time, but as much as I try, there are some things we just can't change about ourselves and that's a good thing. We put aside the need. to be perfect Many years ago I wrote a column for Shape magazine and received many emails from readers, including a very sad letter from a teenage girl asking me for advice on how to improve after her absolutely horrible boyfriend stripped her naked. so he could criticize her body. This is a true story. I told him to quit immediately and never let anyone make him feel bad about himself again, but we all know that satisfying the need for perfection isn't just about our weight, it's also about keeping the house clean. and the dogs are cared for and the children are healthy and the boss is happy and all the balls are in the air it's even about keeping our youth intact and still, who wants to be friends with someone who is perfect, think about that and finally five , my favorite, let go, right?

However, you know when I left Chicago my life was pretty good, it just wasn't good enough. If there's something you want to do, make a plan and act, but don't wait. I still agree with Hector, you know it comes in waves now, but it's the phone call I can't make that reminds me to make Every Day Count urge you all to do the same thing, whatever that is, i.e. , let it go, thank you
