Grow-Giving Principle 7
My plan was to do one of the Seven Habits as a grow giving principle, so I researched last night and read, and read some more. Nothing seemed to fit the way I wanted it to. So what did I do? The first thing I should have done, sit down in my thinking chair and have a conversation.
I asked, “what would bring closure to this series?”, and I heard the single word: Release.
Actually out of the 50+ laws I’ve studied and learned about I’ve never heard of a law of release. But it sounds like one, and I don’t doubt for a second that I heard wrong. So I looked it up.
The Law of Release is applied when you let go of what you no longer want and need. By doing this you make way for the new and wanted into your life.
- Release the negative to make way for positive
- Release grudges and forgive to make way for building better or new relationships
- Release some of the money going in the wrong direction to make way for wealth creation
- The people and things that drain you to make way for the people and things that fill you and bring abundance
- Release the clutter to make way for organization
- Release guilt to make way for joy
- Find ways to Release hurting the best way we can (because hurt people hurt people) to make way for healing. We slow down healing when we focus and hold on to hurt.
We are only here for a short time.
Intentionally live your life to make it meaningful to you and do the things that will leave a legacy, never being ashamed of your choices because you pleased God, and you also pleased yourself. What else matters?
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10 NKJV
