You can%u2019t get ahead by hanging on. Clinging to where you are or what you had will never lead to growth, it leads to a slow painful death. If you want to grow, you need to have faith, you have to let go and trust the bottom won%u2019t kill you, that maybe, if you%u2019re lucky, you%u2019ll bounce when you hit. It%u2019s the same reason drunks have the uncanny knack for surviving car accidents%u2026 they are relaxed at impact while sober people tighten up trying to avoid the inevitable and their own desire to survive helps kill them. It%u2019s like the football team playing the prevent. They aren%u2019t playing to win, they are playing not to lose. The greatest comebacks in history were made against teams that had given up on playing to win and decided to try not to lose. Clinging to what you have is an act of desperation. It isn%u2019t creative, it isn%u2019t helpful, and you won%u2019t like the results. The secret to creative growth is the opposite of clinging, it is the act of letting go.
