It Will All Work Out: The Freedom of Letting Go

by Kevin Hart

To be asleep in your day-to-day means to be living it without awareness. To let your bullshit take the lead. And living this way has its consequences.

success is in getting it done, not in what other people think.

your need to control didn’t make things any safer. It only made them smaller. It will ultimately shrink everything, from your joy to your relationships to your life span.

Self-awareness plus self-control equals the best possible life you could ever hope for.

You’re standing on the playing field right now, whether you know it or not.

We’re navigating a world that’s designed to constantly present problems and challenges. It sends all these surprises along the way. Both big and small, fun and not so fun. You’re presented with them on the daily. And the game of life is about solving them. The game is about getting through to the other side. Learning, trusting, and loving on your way to the ultimate prize: happiness.

The more you chase comfort, the more unhappy you become. Because happiness isn’t about being comfortable; it’s about growing and improving. And by nature, growing is not comfortable.

I believe that walking your path to happiness involves a healthy dose of fighting spirit. Because that’s the foundation of any game. You have to want to play. You have to want to put up a fight and rise to the challenge. That spirit is what makes any game interesting. That’s what makes it worth playing and worth watching. And that’s what gives you a shot at winning.

Remember, happiness isn’t some finish line way off in the distance. It’s something you can experience with every step along the way and every play you make. Happiness is what happens not just every time you conquer an obstacle but every time the obstacle temporarily conquers you, and you struggle to get back on your feet.
