You cannot become who you want to be by holding too tightly onto who you are

You cannot become who you want to be by holding too tightly onto who you are.

By definition you have to burn away parts of yourself that aren’t serving you

This is easier when we recognise that we aren’t what which we are changing. You are not your emotions and you are not your past experiences or identifications.

Those are mental attachments that we can choose to release.

Once you understand that we are formless then everything comes easier. We have the capacity to become whatever glorious things we can envision, no chains holding us back.

Consciously Letting go of something is the equivalent of pruning a dead branch. We now have more mental energy available to grow the parts that matter

There doesn’t need to be a judgment within your own head about letting things go either; that you are somehow ‘weak’ because you are not ‘caring’ about this particular situation.

What is stronger is having the ability to release the need for control, rather than letting this external situation control your mental state any longer.

You want to completely eliminate mental energy that isn’t serving you through a process of elimination. Less is more in that your attention and therefore energy is magnified, rather than split between so many things.

Change is the only constant in this world, there are no set points.

Embrace the change, direct the change.

"Change is the only constant in this world, there are no set points"

If change is the only constant, then the constant is always changing. Which shows everything is changing. If everything is changing, nothing is constant. This is true for the inner system. Your "constant" refers to an external observer noting a pattern in the system. For change to be constant, it has to remain the same. Take a coin, you can change between 2 states forever, this sort of change is constant. On the other hand, if the possibilities are endless, the change isn't constant. The "change" is also changing.

Your sentence is logically invalid as the "constant" and "change" refer to inner and outer working of a system simultaneously which doesn't make sense. Using the same word for two different frame of reference doesn't make sense.
