Letting Go...

Every once or more often, we have all faced the critical and most difficult decision of letting go. Holding on to something that you know will only cause you more grief and pain, is usually the hardest. But hey!... your only human and you have emotions. Many a times I have been faced with these instances, where hard choices have to be made, and the major culprit is a loved one.

Losing a loved one is usually the hardest and letting go, even harder. The memories of the lost loved one, be it a parent, especially your mum or dad, your child, your sibling, aunty, uncle, cousin, grandparent, a best friend, a dear friend or a pet, usually evoke emotions that bring tears to your eyes. And as days go by, it turns to weeks, then months and it gets to years, the pain eases as time comes to pass. It is very true what is said that "Time is the best healer!" What remains and most logic thing to do is, to "Celebrating their lives. With this, you keep their memory alive, spread the love and finally be at peace with your heart and God!"

In whatever circumstance you are in, I came across these phrases that could help you understand and try to ease the letting go process, thereby getting and letting you live your life to full potential...

Letting go is...

“The day I understood everything, was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out. The day I knew peace was the day I let everything go.”
                                                                         ― C. JoyBell C.

“Know that everything is in perfect order whether you understand it or not.”
                                                                         ― Valery Satterwhite

“I demolish my bridges behind me...then there is no choice but to move forward”
                                                                         ― Fridtjof Nansen

“Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits. (January 11)”
