Common sense
should tell us that we can't hold on to everything. During our
lifetime we will have to let go of possessions, people, pets, pain,
and the past. Even knowing this, it can be very difficult because humans
tend to resist change. The sooner we accept change, the easier it
is to move on.
Letting go frees
us to experience more. Making space in our homes creates a calming
atmosphere. Releasing anger allows us to find peace. Eliminating
negative people from our lives gives us room for new friends.
Learning from the past helps us move forward. Replacing bad habits
with good ones changes our whole outlook. Releasing control permits
us to explore and grow.
So
let go. Let go of past problems, bad habits, toxic people, clutter,
and negative thoughts. Embrace positive living and focus on today.
Remember, we have the power to choose how we experience things in our lives.
“We don't always have
to know why. Spending too much time on the why takes away from
figuring out what to do next.” --Sandra Beck
