"Pour vraiment s'éveiller, il faut tout lâcher."
— Ram Dass
Simplified Meaning:
Waking up in a deeper sense means you need to stop holding on to things that are holding you back. Imagine a hot air balloon that can't rise because it’s tied down by ropes and heavy weights. In order for it to float up into the sky, all the weights and ropes must be removed. Similarly, if you want to reach your full potential, you need to let go of all the fears, worries, bad habits, and negative thoughts that are keeping you grounded. For example, consider someone who wants to start a new career but is afraid of failing. If they keep thinking about their fears, they’ll never be able to move forward. By letting go of these fears and doubts, they can focus on their goals and work towards them with a clear mind. This way, they have a better chance of succeeding. So, to make changes in your life and become a better version of yourself, you need to release all that holds you back. Embracing freedom from these constraints opens the door to new opportunities and a more fulfilling life.
