Mind, Body, Soul
To Let Go or No?
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! I wanted to share the following with you. The title
of the book just jumped out at me. Keep stretching - keep believing.
From "The Art of Letting Go"...Chapter 1...Rania Naim
Letting go is really hard, especially when you have to let go of
something you really want, whether it's an opportunity, or someone you
really liked or loved, or even any expectations you had about
something. I don't think anyone knows how to completely let go or not
fall back from time to time if they do, but there are definitely ways
to make it easier for you to let go when you relentlessly don't want to
let go.
1)What is destined will reach you, even if it be underneath two
mountains. What is not destined, will not reach you, even if it be
between your two lips. - Proverb
Anything that feels forced or harder than it should be or causes you
pain and distress is not meant for you. Things that are meant for you
have a way of flowing smoothly into your life. The more you fight for
something that is not meant for you, the more it will fight you.
2)The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only
thing more impossible than staying was leaving. - Elizabeth Gilbert
Letting go is really painful when you feel "stuck," and it can
sometimes seem impossible to do, but the truth is if you reach this
point, it means you've been trying too hard to make this thing work in
your favor, or reach your goal, and it sometimes feels like we've tried
so hard or come a long way that if we let go now, it will feel like a
waste of time given the time and effort we've invested in it. There is
power in letting go.
3)If you're brave enough to say good-bye, life will reward you with a
new hello. - Paulo Coelho
This outlook really helps you to move on and let go faster. When you
leave one door behind and lock that door, you will be surprised by the
number of doors that were waiting to be opened by you and only you.
Some endings are not bad; sometimes they are not even endings, just
bridges to new beginnings.
4)I think part of the reason we hold on to something so tight is
because we fear something so great won't happen twice. - Anonymous
Here's another reason we hold on to things or people longer than we
should. We convince ourselves that good things won't happen twice. When
you look back at your life, you will find yourself laughing at certain
situations when you thought you would never move on; or how you held
onto something so tightly. Holding on to something out of fear that it
will never happen again is the definition of fear. We have to be
fearless in letting go.
5)See it for what it is, not what you want it to be. - Anonymous
The truth is if you reach a point where letting go is the only option,
it usually means that this thing or someone has already let you go. The
mind has a funny way of tricking us into believing certain things to
make it less painful for us, or put it in a way that doesn't really
hurt our pride or break our heart, but we have to look at it the way it
is, the way it is portrayed to us, not the way we want to see it.
As you keep learning the art of letting go, let go of your fear, of
your past, of your mistakes, of your insecurities, of your failures, of
your self-doubt. Forgive yourself enough to let go of even the parts of
you that dim your light.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not telling anyone to stop anything or anyone they
don't like. I'm not telling anyone to start anything. I make no
promises that if you follow any of the above your problems will
disappear. I just found it pretty interesting.
"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they
can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can
make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com
The best is yet to be!! MONA
