Welcome back to Rooted&Real. I'm so glad you're here.
You know, we are in this series of letting go. In episode one, we dealt with grief.
Episode two was broken relationships. So, we are on three letting go of projects that didn't work.
So, the first thing we're going to deal with is the funeral no one attends. Sounds weird, yeah?
Here it is. You poured money into a project. You poured time. You poured tears into it.
The business, the idea, the degree, and the book you never finished.
And it flopped. Or it just fizzled out. Life just moved on. No one throws a funeral
for dead dreams. So, you're left grieving alone, pretending. Oh my dear, pretending that you're
fine. Then we have the second part. And I'd like to tell you this. Failure is not your identity.
So, the project failed. But you didn't. That idea was just one version of you trying. It wasn't all
of you. So, sometimes God closes doors. Because your hands are too full holding what you already
gave you. Sometimes, no is protection, not punishment. So, how do we release it? Number one,
thank it. Thank that failed project. Because it taught you skills. It taught you discipline.
And remember, gratitude kills bitterness. Right? Second thing, bury the evidence. Delete the
files. Archive that page. Stop peeking at scabs, eh? The third one, make room. Remember,
your empty hands can catch new things. You can't really hold tomorrow if you're still
gripping yesterday's blueprint. Come on. So, letting go of a project, it doesn't make you a
quitter. What does it make you? Wise. If you're staring at something that cost you a lot,
but gave you so little, you have permission to stop.
Rest is not wasted. Quitting dead things is not failure. You're not behind.
You're just being redirected again. Thank you for listening. Remember to follow, subscribe,
