Let It Go

I know the song "Let It Go" has been out for a while but I love it. It speaks to me on so many levels. I have spent so much of my life trying to be something I'm not, perfect. It has caused me so much unhappiness. I have come to learn that striving for perfection is not trying to live as though you make no mistakes and have no flaws. It is not trying to bury those things you don't like about yourself or feel you fall short of deep inside where no one can see it.

Striving for perfection is simply about taking every opportunity to learn and grow from your experiences. It is coming to understand what didn't work and trying something else next time. Einstein's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. It is time to stop the insane behaviors and choices that come from trying to be perfect and embrace the gift that striving for perfection gives us, growth.

So let go of trying to be perfect and let God grow something wonderful in you as you strive for perfection.



"Let It Go"

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a foot print to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!

I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free!

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
