It's Time to Let Go of That Dead Weight in Your Life!

Sometimes in life, we may make the repetitive mistake of holding on to the very thing that keeps us down and that will ultimately keep us from achieving our goals in life. Yet, you insist on keeping them around for various reasons. Perhaps it's because you have low self-esteem, or because you are lonely, or maybe you feel that this situation will change for the better one day. What ever the reason, it is imperative that you recognize when someone or something has been a major hindrance in your life. You must keep in mind that, unfortunately, everyone will not have your best interest at heart. Some individual(s) simply just want to use you. They have no concern for your feelings, no respect for your well-being, no interest in your goals, and for certain these dream crushers have no intentions of helping you achieve your goals. Therefore, they are dead weight and you need to let them go so that you can move forward! Sound familiar? If so, you need to free yourself from this bondage. Here are my simple but challenging steps that should help you succeed in letting go of that deadweight.

ACKNOWLEDGE
1. The first step is to ADMIT that you have been unwise in allowing this individual(s) to take advantage of you. Yes, I did say allow, simply because no one can continuously use you unless you allow them to. So if by chance you have been in denial about your situation, ADMIT so that you can move on to the next step.


RECOGNIZE
2. Next, you must now fully recognize who it is that has been that constant weight in your life. At this point, you should be fed up with their selfish motives. You should be fed up with being used by them, and muster up the courage to let them go. Initially, it will be rather difficult, but not impossible for you to let them go. Now that you have decided to let them go, you can move on to the next step.


TAKE ACTION!
3. Now you need to do what ever it is that you need to do to drop that weight. You know what you need to do, so do it now! Is there someone living on your premises that has been free loading for weeks, months, or years? Tell them they have to pay up or get out! Who is that one that constantly borrows money, clothes, or whatever from you and will not return the favor? While you may never see these items again, you can REFUSE to further lend to them ever again. Or maybe it's your lover, so-called friend, or co-worker that you know, absolutely mean you no good at all but you keep them in your life? It's time to tell him or her to get lost and never be found again. And don't let fear prevent you from going through with your decision. For you must love yourself enough to willingly let go of people, things, and situations that have been oppressing you. Now that you have made the determination to let go of that dead weight, you may proceed with courage!

YOUR RESULTS
1. YOU, MINUS THE DEAD WEIGHT!
Congratulations on your achievement! Oh what a relief it is! You don't have that weight dragging and pulling you down anymore. You are now free to move forward to pursue your goals because you made the choice to let them go!
