I was watching a rain of yellow leaves from our birch trees this morning. The trees seems to be shedding leaves they can no longer support due to the dry conditions here. The lawn is now a sea of yellow. It no longer has the resources; their ‘relationship’ is no longer fruitful. It made me think of what is going on in the economy right now. Businesses are letting go of resources that no longer serve them. This is very painful if you are one of those ‘leaves’ but perhaps in the end, better for everyone that nature asserts a macro-view.
I wonder how many of us should let things go that no longer serve us; old hurts, old relationships, old habits, old ways of working, being and thinking?
What are you thoughts?
“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” Havelock Ellis
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.” Lao Tzu
