The other day I was driving down the road and noticed my new Jeep wasn’t giving it all of its power. Something was holding it back. I pulled over to see what was going on to realize that I was driving with the emergency brake on.

Brilliant, Bustle.

It reminded me how many of us are like a car with the emergency brake on. We have allowed ourselves to let some outside force hold us back or keep us from giving it our full effort.

In order to fully go after what you want in life you have to let go of what is holding you back. You have to let go of the emergency brake and just go for it. Perhaps your past results are keeping you from giving it your all. Whatever it is, let it go and move forward. If you don’t let go of what binds you to the ground you will never be able to fly towards your goals.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
– Lao Tzu

Some think it’s holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it’s letting go.

Stand up and walk out of your history.

The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there’s gold in letting go of them.
– John Seely Brown

Are you driving with the emergency brake on? Is something holding you back from going after your goals? Give up the excuses, and go for it.
