Inner peace begins when we have the courage to let go of what we cannot change.
Of all that humans have been given to know, there is one thing even more important that no one has ever suspected: change. Change is the only constant; it's the only thing that forces us to readjust daily. If we disregard the necessity of change, we become unfortunate victims of life and of those who are more astute. But we always ask ourselves: how can we live this life undefeated? How can we keep our composure even in the most terrible circumstances? Is there a therapy to finally remain undisturbed? After much reflection, it has become clear that humans are primarily responsible for their own destiny. They create it every day through their thoughts, words, and actions.
In the course of their evolution and their status as "masters of the universe," humans have been granted a power that gives them primacy over other creatures, and this understanding has certainly corrupted their lucidity, until the day they realize they are not as powerful as they always claimed. Indeed, humans are victims of weakness, illness, fear, and ultimately, death. It's therefore time to admit that some things can be beyond our control without being a calamity or an inescapable fate. On the contrary, accepting what we cannot change demonstrates strength of spirit. This ability is called Letting Go. This is the theme of Dr. Raoul Ruben's introductory conference for his world tour this Saturday, June 14, 2025, in the legendary hall he inaugurated for this purpose.
Letting go is an act of wisdom, a return to one's essence, a moment of deep connection with one's soul and present experience. It means stopping clinging to circumstances we cannot change, stopping trying to control and force everything. This experience of surrender is rooted in accepting who you are and what you are experiencing, without resistance or rejection. This step is essential if we want to expand, free ourselves from emotional and physical blockages, and make room for our well-being. It is when we let go that energy gains new momentum, solutions present themselves, and unforeseen opportunities arise. This experience teaches us that every experience has meaning, that every step of our journey contributes to our inner transformation, and that the world is greater than all our fears, than all our ambitions. Letting go is not giving up or disowning our responsibilities; it's trusting in life and in our own power of regeneration.
Letting go takes many forms, both physical and mental, emotional or spiritual. First, emotionally, it means welcoming all our emotions without judging them or letting them take hold, so that negative energy dissolves on its own. This experience ensures we make peace with our inner experience and achieve greater wisdom. From a mental point of view, letting go involves stopping rumination, negative projections, or clinging to illusory certainties about the world and ourselves. This shift in perspective makes us more creative, adaptive, and focused on what truly matters. As for the spiritual aspect, letting go is an act of trusting in life, the universe, or a force greater than ourselves. This experience connects us to something vaster, strengthens our faith, calms us, and keeps us centered, even when all our routines collapse. This multidimensionality highlights that letting go is not just a simple technique, but a change in consciousness, a new experience of humility, self-love, and acceptance of others.
Each personality has its own relationship with letting go, and each temperament will require specific means to achieve it. Dominant profiles, like choleric types for example, may sometimes perceive this change as an affront, believing everything is under their control. This experience therefore requires them to demonstrate humility and openness. Creative or emotional profiles, like melancholic and phlegmatic types, will tend to see letting go as a return to their deep nature, an experience of inner peace. As for methodical profiles, like sanguine types, they will benefit from allowing more room for the unknown, without wanting to plan or decide everything. This transformation thus takes on colors specific to each personality, strengthening their self-confidence, adaptability, and inner wisdom. It is when each individual becomes aware of their own functioning, their blockages, and their fears, that letting go takes on its full meaning and offers them the opportunity to access a softer, more peaceful, and more fulfilling life experience.
Indeed, letting go is an indispensable lever on the path to greatness and accomplishment. This experience frees us from our conditioning, our fears, and our weaknesses, so that we can become the best version of ourselves. It is when we succeed in detaching from the old that the unknown takes its place, that new fields of opportunity open up, and that change takes shape. This transformation brings us closer to our goals, ambitions, and dreams, which were previously inaccessible, simply because we dared to trust and stopped carrying everything on our own shoulders. It is in this release that efficiency is born, that inspiration unfolds, that solutions we had not even dared to hope for manifest. Letting go is therefore an indispensable step in our growth experience, a factor of inner transformation that can lead every individual, every leader, every entrepreneur, every creator, to self-actualize by letting the universe do its work. For 4 hours, Dr. Raoul Ruben captivated all the business leaders, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople who came to participate in this grand exchange and sharing event. And since the tone is set, the next meeting with Dr. Raoul Ruben is on June 28 in Montreal.
