When everything looks terrible…

What do you do when something that was once precious from you suddenly disappears from your life? I had something like this experience this past Saturday. It caused me tremendous grief for the following 24 hours, but after constantly releasing all my attachments to it, I noticed I was SIGNIFICANTLY freer. It took me several hours to feel much of a difference, but it was well worth it. It freed me so much that I am feeling thankful!
Basically, my girlfriend chose to break up with me.
It was a huge shock as I totally didn’t see it coming, but now I see that it was best that this had happened. Of course at the time I couldn’t see it. After having taken a good look my relationship with her, I began to feel grateful, and I saw very clearly that she and I were literally hindering each other from moving towards where we each ultimately wanted to go which was clearly in two radically different directions.
During the turmoil, I felt like I had done something wrong, or that something was wrong with me, but in fact, it was merely an incompatibility issue. She and I had different values and goals, and I often compromised mine to make the relationship work, which put me in a binding situation. The break up had nothing to do with the ‘wrongness’ of me, but rather the incompatibility between her and me.
And this leads me to wonder: What if all the ‘negative’ things that happen in life are merely an indication of incompatibility? What if any negativity you experience is simply telling you to be, do, and have the things that ARE compatible with you?
While letting go often feels so difficult, it is by far the best thing I’ve come across, and The Release Technique taught me how to do it. I am so grateful for what I’ve learned and how I am able to see things with far better clarity. Sometimes I wonder if the breakup was one of the best things that happened to me, because it was CLEARLY telling me to let go of these attachments. Having let most of them go, I am feeling GREAT!
