We all hold onto things for so much longer than is good for us. We all have that certain something that’s taking up so many of our circuits. That certain something that weighs us down.
We know that we should let it go. We feel deep within our hearts that it’s time to say goodbye to this part of our life.
And yet. We still hang on. We still keep it in our life.
Why? Because we’re afraid. Hanging onto this certain something is what we know. It’s how we’ve lived for so very long. It’s become who we are. Without it, there are just too many uncertainties and unknowns. Without it we just aren’t sure how our life would look. And that’s so scary.
So we continue inviting this person/job/thing/experience/emotion/memory into our life, and it becomes an unwanted guest. And we begin to resent every time we’re around it. We begin to resent it/them and also ourselves for not being strong enough to say goodbye.
Don’t you think it’s time to let it go? Don’t you?
Don’t you think that it’s time to reclaim your life – your life?
Don’t you think it’s time to step into your truth and step into the life that you know you are meant to be living?
I do. For you. And for me.
I’m saying my own goodbyes this week. To an identity and a company that I should have let go of many, many years ago. If it were a person, it would be the longest breakup ever. But I feel with every cell in my body and with every knowing in my soul that it’s long overdue. So I’m leaping. And I’m choosing to live in this space of faith rather than in this space of comfort.
And I invite you to do the same.
I created this It’s Time poster for each of us to print out as a reminder of how strong we truly are. (Click on it to zoom in and print it out.)
I believe in you. In me. And I know that we can do this!
Sending you love as you release that which no longer serves you.
I know you’ll feel so much lighter and more free.
And it’s definitely time for that!
Please help spread the love by sharing this post on Facebook and Twitter!

Yes, it’s time. Maybe high time, but that’s okay. Let’s do it now.
Thank you so much, Akemi! I’m so glad we’re doing it together! Hugs to you!
Wow that was such good timing Jodi!
Thanks very much for the message, I have just taken that exact leap of faith that you are talking about. I have just left a good paying job, with lots of responsability and a nice title to go with it. But the truth be told, I despised it…I am now going to run my photography business full time and am extremely nervous as I have a wife and two young children to support.
But in amongst the doubt and the FEAR, I have these feelings of calm and relief that I have finally made the move.
Thank you for your inspiration, it came at a time when I really need it.
Lots of love,
Glenn, Johannesburg, South Africa
