Maria N. Papacosta: “In the transformational Disney movie Frozen, Elsa is observing the snow flurries on a mountain top. In other words, she is at that higher range of perspective where everything doesn’t seem so big anymore. She sings the song, ‘Let it Go’ when she decides to stop the ‘conceal, don’t feel’ and the ‘keeping others from getting in and knowing who she really is and how she really feels’. It’s a song about letting go of what we can’t control, like what others think or are going to say. The song goes beyond transparency and into vulnerability. 

Elsa sings, ‘It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small. And the fears that once controlled me, can’t get to me at all. It’s time to see what I can do to test the limits and break through. No right, no wrong, no rules for me. I’m free!’

That’s how I felt going from an extremely shy kid to standing on a stage as a speaker in the spotlight. It’s been a long journey of ‘letting go’. 

I am obsessed with presence. The ability to 'let go' of what isn't in our control - is what differentiates high presence individuals from the rest. They worry about the things they can control and they let go of the things they cannot.”
