The Power of Letting Go!
Last weekend, at the Annual Awards with the Public Speakers Academy, I was nominated in three categories, including one for my baby—my YouTube channel. 🥰
I learned a valuable lesson from last year: when I set my expectations too high, I can end up feeling deeply disappointed and letting that emotion affect my enjoyment of the event.
Hence, this year, I came with a different attitude to simply attend and have a great time and conversations with people I like and admire. Since I didn’t set any expectations beforehand, those recognitions felt like a real bonus, and didn’t influence my experience as a whole.
What did this experience teach me (yet again)? The power of letting go!😎
When we have goals or dreams, it’s easy to become overly fixated on how we think the journey should unfold—expecting certain milestones should happen within a specific timeframe. I realised over and over again that if I set my own rigid agenda, I set myself up for disappointment.
When the timing is right, things will fall into place.
When the timing isn’t right, forcing progress can do more harm than good.
I’ve learned to adapt, remain flexible, and even laugh when things don’t go my way. 😁
How does this lesson apply to finding a lasting relationship?
Well, if you’re seriously looking for a loving, lasting partnership. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to waste time—you’d want to quickly determine if someone is truly right for you. This is a healthy attitude, but with some caveats. People tend to act in ways that align with who they are. Even if they try to impress you initially, their natural selves will emerge over time.
If you put too much pressure on each interaction, expecting others to behave in a specific way to meet your criteria, you may end up disappointed. A more sensible attitude is having your own filter to select more compatible partners. At the same time, find a way to enjoy the interactions and dating process. Reframe those experiences as opportunities for you to practise your dating skills. Give your best shot, and let go of the expectation of the outcome.
Personally, I often find that within 15 minutes of conversation, I’ve already decided if someone isn’t right for me. Instead of feeling upset or believing I’ve wasted my time, I choose to use the opportunity to practice my coaching and dating skills, which are also good use of time in that situation.
Remember to resist the temptation to set your own agenda on the outcome. Allow things to unfold naturally. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Trust that the Universe knows what’s best for you and that the right person won’t pass you by. ✨🌏
