I DO care – www.thesecretiswags.com

I have always been hung up “letting go.”

Years ago, my father, who was an alcoholic, would talk to me about his 12-step program. Although I’ve never had a problem with alcohol, I do struggle with food. Dad liked to say to me, “Let go.”

“What does that mean?” I asked him.

“Just what it says.”

“I don’t get it.”

“You need to let go of needing.”

“Like I need to not care one way or the other?” I asked. “But I do care.”

“You just need to let it go,” Dad said.

“How?”

“You just do it.”

Thanks, Dad.

My father is now in nonphysical, and I wonder if he’s been instrumental in bringing me what I need to finally understand the concept he so wanted me to get.

I wrote on Friday and Saturday, in The Desire Heater, and Too Much Thought, about the need to ask then forget about it. This is the best I’ve been able to come up with on the subject of letting go. But I still wasn’t satisfied. Letting go seemed to be a cop-out, pretending that I didn’t care whether or not I got something.

Like I said to my dad so many years ago, I DO care. What do I do with that?

Monday’s post in The Field Center’s Realities blog , brought me the answer I needed: “Letting go doesn’t mean not caring. Some may think this means that we have to come to a point where what we want doesn’t matter to us anymore, but this is far from the truth. Rather, we have to come to a point where what we want doesn’t rule us anymore.”

So I have been onto something. By no longer obsessing over what we want, pushing at it with repeated affirmations and manifestation boards and reminders on yellow stickies and all that stuff that the law of attraction coaches like to teach, we let go.

But we can still care.

It still matters.

We don’t have to convince ourselves that we could take or leave this thing we want. We can truly WANT it and at the same time, let it go.

It comes back to what I’ve been saying about becoming what we want. It all makes sense when you think of it from that perspective.

If you already have what you want, you’ve let it go. No more obsessive need because the need has been fulfilled. No more striving because you’ve reached the goal.

From an inner place of ahhhh, you let go of the struggle. You have it. It’s yours.

Now you can just do what’s here to be done on any given day. And you can let the universe and the law of attraction orchestrate all the details to match your outer reality with the inner reality you’ve already created.

You can let go AND still care.

I get it, Dad.
