Don't Let It Go

Talk of perspectives......I'm listening to 'Let it Go, from Frozen', and I see this inbox pop up notification titled  'Don't Let it Go' .

The title and timing had me totally piqued. I paused to go see.... it was a write up from Sadhguru of Isha Foundation; I've listened to some of his talks and find him really good, so I read.......and here's an excerpt.

     

Sadhguru on handling difficult situations in life. 'So, If you want to evaluate, what is needed is involvement, not letting go. When you are deeply involved with the situation, and know everything about it, you can make a judgement'

Every problem is a problem only because you call it so. In life, there are no problems – there are only situations. Everything is a situation. If you call it a “problem” it becomes a problem. If you call it “wonderful” it becomes wonderful.

It is just a situation – whether it becomes a problem or otherwise is just the way you approach it. No situation is airtight because every situation is evolving. If you don’t want to be in a situation, you want to be somewhere else, then closely observe the situation and you will see where the doorways are. If you just want a breath of fresh air, you can open a window and make it a little relaxing. If you want to get out, you can open the door and walk out, that is your choice. If you stay, there is a consequence and if you leave, there is a consequence. Are you ready to face the consequence?

Once you have decided, there is no right and wrong. 

There is no such thing as a 'good life'. But if you put yourself wholeheartedly into something, it is a great life. If you really throw yourself into something, however simple, it may be great in your experience. 

Life is a continuum of situations, if you are on a growth trajectory, you will be constantly facing situations that you may not know how to handle. These situations may be challenging, but they are not a problem. A true problem would be that there are no new situations in one’s life, which means life is in stagnation mode. If you want to continuously be in a process of dynamic growth, you will constantly be in new situations that you may not necessarily know how to handle. If you are facing many of these so called problems, you’re living a life of great possibility. So, if you want to evaluate, what is needed is involvement, not letting go.
