Ep. #109: Coming Out Late & Learning to Let Go

Coming Out Late

In this week’s episode, Robin talks about the keys to living a serene and fulfilling life. Robin puts on her philosophical beret and covers topics such as “acceptance”, “surrendering”, “expectations” and “letting go” and what in the world does that have to do with coming out late?

• Give yourself permission to ‘think’ and ‘do’ differently; because we can!
• Nothing changes if nothing changes.
• We ALWAYS have options and choices to ‘think’ and ‘do’ differently.
• It’s how we respond to adversity, to challenge, that defines our character.
• We must accept we have no control over people, places, things & situations.
• The key to life, to serenity, and to living a fulfilled life is ACCEPTANCE.
• We learn how to accept by learning how to surrender; we learn how to surrender by learning how to LET GO.
• We need to learn how to let go of - and live free-from - ‘desired outcomes’ and ‘expectations’.
• The myth about chasing ‘ideal outcomes’. What’s the probability of catching our ‘desired outcomes’? What’s the cost of chasing our desired outcomes?
• We’re not in the CONTROL business - that’s codependency’s job!
