I am a huge fan of TED talks. Routinely, I put my mind into it and watch some quality content. It’s like a visual book. I take notes and try to memorize the points mentioned by the speaker altogether. Today, I will be talking about one talk given by Jill Shere Murray on the topic of “The unstoppable power of letting go”
We as humans, tend to take life and people too seriously. We are constantly running here and there, looking for something, rooting for something else. While doing this, we spend our most valuable asset, and that is time. The speaker describes the importance of time and says, “I would never take time for granted again,” after a pause she continues, “I would use it to let go, to create space for the things I really wanted, and for what mattered the most.”
The speaker drops some great healthy tips to take life more simply and to let go of unnecessary burden that weigh us down.
1) Let go of taking things personally: It is always less to do with you and more with them. If people aren’t giving you what you want, or behaving badly, most times, that’s their problem.
2) Let go of what other people think: If you put something out there, 10% will hate it, 80% will be indifferent, and 10% will be your raving fan. And if someone is not a raving fan, let that be okay too.
3) Let go of trying to be something you are not.
4) Let go of the need to be perfect
5) Let go of “Not yet,”
The summary of this talk which holds immense gravity is this, we all are different. And we all carry different passions, hope and perspectives towards life. Regardless of indifference, and disparity, we should continue to be ourselves. We should let go of the burden of other people’s opinions. Because this is our life and we should live it in the way we want. Because at the end of the day people will always have something to say. And most of the time, that's their problem.
Be you, be good, and live freely.
