Letting Go: Your Secret Fuel Source
How releasing resistance frees the energy to play a bigger game
What if the energy you’ve been searching for isn’t missing, but waiting to be freed? By letting go of resistance and surrendering to life as it is, you tap into a secret fuel source—one that lightens your step, powers you up, and carries you into a bigger game. With practice and perspective you get to see that surrender doesn’t weaken, it energizes.
Airplanes. We’ve all been on them. Unfortunately, what we most focus on these days are the hassles: the packing, going through security, making our connections, getting home on time.
We have totally lost touch with the true marvel of sitting in a chair at 36,000 feet above sea level, hurtling through space at 500 miles per hour without as much as a hair getting out of place.
I mean seriously. How amazing is that!?
Unless there is another plane in the sky to give you some perspective, it feels like you’re virtually crawling like a snail to your destination.
But of course we all know we’re not.
Moving about your life in the slow lane is no different.
Next time you feel like you’re moving at a glacial pace, getting nowhere, falling off the wagon, losing hope, going three steps forward and four back, remember the plane ride.
What is really happening—under the radar of any discernible progress—is quite the opposite from what your mind is telling you.
When you focus your intention, set doable action steps, let go of attachment to the outcome, and nourish yourself with self-care—every day—you are, in fact, traveling at the speed of light.1

The steps that we have been taking to lighten our load over these past weeks might not look like much at first, but they start to gain traction.
They start to become something real and tangible that can take us places beyond ourselves.
They also become an infinite source of energy that can fuel and allow us to play a much bigger game.
Let’s explore how that might be so below.
