I enjoy wordplay (as you may have noticed in my previous post about the fabulous tool, Wordle), so I don’t mind telling you that some days I let a word or phrase play over and over in my mind searching for new meaning in it.

Think about the paradigm shift when “disease” becomes “dis-ease” or “enjoy” becomes “in-joy”.

So it is with “letting go.” You can think of the phrase as we often do, as in letting something (or someone) leave our lives or consciousness. Or, you can flip it to mean letting GO – as in “letting GO happen.” Framed in this way, letting go becomes extremely proactive, allowing new things or experiences to grow and manifest.

I can’t imagine a better way to visualize this flip than Madonna’s Jump video, which features gravity defying Parkour. En-joy!
