Somebody once asked Lord Buddha, “After meditating for years, I have not been able to gain anything.” Then Lord Buddha asked, “Did you lose anything?” The disciple said, “Yes, I lost my anger, desires, expectations and ego.” Buddha smiled and said, “That is what your gain is by meditating.”

To be happy, one must learn to let go the following:
• One should let go of the desires.
• Let go of your expectations.
• Let go of your ego.
• One should let go of his or her ego but also remember never to hurt somebody’s ego
•
• Let go of your attachments.
• Let go of your habit of criticizing, complaining and condemning people. One should always practice non-violent communication and speak which is truth, necessary and kind. One should not criticize, condemn or complain about people, situation and events. Wayne
• Let go of your habit of blaming others: One should learn to take the responsibilities and people believe in team work. Good leader is the one who learns to be responsible in life.
• Let go of your need to be always right: It is a ...
... form of ego. Remember, in arguments either you can win arguments or relationships. Always try to win relationship and not arguments.
• Let go of your need to control situations, events and people: Learn to accept people as they are. The world is won by those who let this habit go.
• Let go of your habit and the need to impress others: This is also a type of ego where we always seek appreciation.
• Give up your belief that you cannot do it: Remember ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ is ‘I M POSSIBLE’. A belief is not an idea held by the mind but it is an idea that holds the mind.
• Give up your resistance to change: Remember change is the only constant which will happen and always welcome it.
• Let go of your fear and all negative thoughts: Remember, the mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. It becomes very destructive if used badly.
• Let go of your habit of giving excuses.
Let go of always being in the past.
