The Power of Giving Up

Giving up is one of the most powerful steps you can take when consciously creating your reality. This may contradict mainstream advice that is usually focussed on "never give up", but knowing how and when to give up could make all the difference to your success, while not doing so may prevent it. Most people deem giving up to be cowardly, in the ignorance that to "try, try and try again", may be the less courageous and less effective thing to do. To Never Give Up is Tantamount to Attachment:At some point in time, we have all been faced with the dilemma of whether or not to give up on something that we really wanted, not knowing what to do. The usual advice is to "keep trying" and to "never give up". However, never giving up on something you want or intend can be the most tiring, time-wasting and energy-draining thing you can do. In our predominantly action-orientated society, to give up may seem like a weakness, whereas doing so actually takes strength and intelligence. Refusing to give up, no matter what, is really nothing more than being dearly attached to the outcome. In contrast, experience has taught us that only by detaching from the outcome do we give it the freedom to come to us. Even if you do detach yourself from the outcome, refusing to give up can keep you trapped in an ongoing cycle of attachment to detachment and back to attachment again. There is great power in knowing how and when to give up. How to Give Up:Giving up is usually associated with images of abandoning your dreams but this need not be the case. Instead, learn to see giving up as giving upwards. In other words, when you give up, give whatever it is you are giving up on,uptoa Higher Power. Send it upwards to the All-Powerful Universal Mindto sort it out for you - to God, to your Higher Self or to whatever Higher Power resonates with you.
