You Must Let Go To Move Forward
A psychology professor entered the classroom with half a glass of water in his hand. The students expected the old common question “was it half empty or half full?” But to the surprise, he asked them “How heavy is this glass of water?”
The answers given by the students ranged from 7 oz. To 25 oz. But the professor replied that the actual weight of the glass with water doesn’t always matter but how long you hold the glass is what matters.
If you hold the glass for a minute, you won’t feel much weight. But if you hold for 10 minutes, you will feel a little more weight and it gets heavier for you with hours.
If you hold it for the entire day, then your hands would go numb and pain.
That very light and small and MINOR glass of water will become increasingly heavy.
The same thing happens with our little slip ups and stresses.
The more we focus on them, the more we give them our attention and beat ourselves up over them and focus on them over just learning from them and moving forward, the bigger they become.
We need to learn to let go of the things we can’t change or control while not ignoring them. We have to recognize them, take ownership of them BUT not just dwell on what happened.
Because if we instead feel guilty, let it derail multiple days and throw us off...well the weight of that event adds up.
It gains more importance in our mind. It festers and builds to hold back progress.
It becomes WORSE than it really was.
Do not little mistakes that are mere light glasses of water become things you can barely hold up because you've let your mind stay focused on them.
Instead remember that those mistakes only hold weight if we allow ourselves to DWELL on them.
Basically the Moral: You should learn to let go of your stresses and setbacks. If you can do something about it, just do it. In the other case, just leave it and work towards your goals or else it just kills your productivity.
