Learning to Let Go
243 - Exploring the art of letting go.All things are temporary, even what you love most.What a beautiful, fucked up and timeless lesson we will all come to know at some point.When giving your absolute all to something, it’s common to become afraid of letting go of the familiarity we’ve come to know.There’s nobility in never giving up.When you love right, you love passionately. If it’s real, you’re gonna have to fight for it.If you only go to eighty percent with anything and find contentment there, you’ll fail to see the fruits of sweet magic that come from going all the way.But when you give it your all, and it becomes clear the end is near, you only sacrifice yourself by holding on.What’s the right balance then, given love equates to sacrifice?You must push yourself to the point of being broken, burned and struck down by your own ignorance.To love is to give someone the power to destroy you and trust they don’t use it.But when they pull the trigger?Rock bottom.But from here, you have an opportunity to rise again.The pain will leave a scar, a marker that serves as a reminder of both the beautiful and painful memories.Beauty and pain exist on the same spectrum. Can you smile in spite of suffering, finding gratitude for the lessons learned along the way?When the next time comes to open your heart, will you have the courage to show up and see through the previous experience of being broken?All times of darkness lead to brighter days.Look up to the stars, pray.Show us the way home with our innocence still intact.You’re never truly lonely when connected to your heart.Each day is an opportunity for a new start.Next time you’re struggling for control, remember what happened today and choose to let go.Keep your heart soft but your mind strong.It may feel like a mistake losing yourself in love, but you can close your eyes knowing it was worth giving your all.Change is coming so take that weight of your shoulders.Set your sight on the horizon, move on.Let the seeds of new beginnings take root, one day flowering to set your heart free.Connect with Evan:Purchase my new book: To Marshal Love Against TyrannySubscribe on SubstackFollow on InstagramBook a Fitness Consultation or Tarot ReadingSupport the showSupport the show

To Marshal Love Against Tyranny
241 - How do you marshal love against tyranny? Love, the most beautiful force of nature, cannot be seen or touched. It can only be felt in the heart.Love is radical, unreasonable. It can’t be contained within the frameworks of our social contracts. It’s the generator of all meaning, while tossing the illusions of logic and reasoning aside.Love is why we mourn when forced to let go. It’s what made the magic perceivable to begin within, filling up our hearts with feelings we once only thought to be possible in a dream. That’s why when we die, it’s only the love we shared that survives.Love will bring you to the highest peaks of every mountain, while offering a light of hope when lost in the loneliest valleys of darkness. Always moving subtly, until it one day moves through you in an unmistakable flash of its beauty.Love will forever remain an unknown danger to the mind, but can be life’s only constant as your heart’s guide. If anything matters, it’s having the courage to choose love through it all.It’s so simple when we let it be, allowing love to guide us towards the path of being free.When you allow love to be the foundation of who you are, you tame the temptations of the tyrant within.Connect with Evan:Subscribe on SubstackDonate to support this show!PayPal | VenmoGet OptimizedPurchase a copy of The Mystical Collection: Poems on Love, Freedom, and Awakening.Book a Donation Based Tarot ReadingInstagramTwitterYoutubeStart Your Own PodcastThe Fifth Dimension ShopIf you like the show, please subscribe & leave us a Review :)Cover art by JumoSupport the show
