The Gift of Goodbye
=============

I am going to give you a bit of advice that has helped me with
MountainWings and will most likely help some of you with life.

MountainWings reaches a very diverse audience. We have very
diverse issues. Since the subject matter varies, so do
opinions about the issues. We get an overwhelming amount of
positive response, but as with anything truly powerful and life-
changing, there will be stuff that sooner or later someone
doesn't like.

One issue can make a small minority throw the whole thing away.
They will email with their specific dislike or disagreement and
end with the statement that says in essence, "Since I don't like
this issue, cancel my entire subscription."

It doesn't happen often, but it happens.

In an effort to keep them from making such a rash decision, my
natural tendency would be to attempt to explain the other side
of the meaning of whatever they disagreed with. I know they will
miss much and gain little by leaving.

Yet a word was spoken into my spirit concerning this, and I
follow it diligently. These same words may help you in some life
incidents.

"Whenever someone leaves, let them go and focus all of your
energy on those who remain; waste no energy on those who leave."

That was it.

There has been only one instance in which I was led to contact a
person who sent such an email and explain things. That person
responded, explaining that he had been going through a really
rough time and had reacted rather harshly. He asked to keep his
subscription active.

There are people, places, and things in your life that have left.
You need to "Let Them Go" and focus all of your energy on that
which is left. There are some instances where you need to go
after the thing, but these are usually rare. You have to have
enough wisdom or spiritual guidance to know when those rare
times are.

Those few words have saved me much aggravation over the years.

Remember this because even if you don't need it now,
you might well need it in the future.

One of the most forwarded MW issues and sermons ever was,
"Let Them Go." http://www.mountainwings.com/past/5109.htm



"Whenever someone leaves, let them go and focus all of your
energy on those who remain; waste no energy on those who leave."
