LEARN TO LET GO

 

When we say ‘let go’, what do we actually.  Is it the ‘let go’ physically or is it literally?  What I want to write about is ‘let go’ of power, memories, or the hold that one has on someone.  Let go is actually loosening one’s grip onto something.  But does anybody really know what it means.  Let go may refer to something that we feel, about being too attached to the past.

Letting go is actually very hard to do.  For some parents, letting go of their children might be very hard.  We are scared to let go of things in our lives.  But the sad thing is that it the feeling of not letting go enough is also being brought to the working environment.

When it comes to being hurt, the feeling of being hurt usually lingers for a long time.  This causes a lot of unhappiness, to some extend may also cause some bitterness.  It also strains relationships, and a person being trapped in anger.  Forgiving is the best cure.  It can change your life.  To forgive does not mean forgetting, but it is letting go of the anger and pain.

I was catching Ghost Whisperer series the other day.  In season 4, Melinda Gordon, the heroine in the story, lost her husband in a shootout but his spirit doesn’t want to ‘move on’ because he loves Melinda too much to leave her alone in this world.  To cut the story short, he relives again in somebody else’s body when the person died and ‘move on’.  After being revived, the body with Jim’s (Melinda’s husband) spirit does remember anything at all.  So does Melinda has to let go or hold on and keep trying to get Jim to remember…..

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.

To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.

To let go is to fear less, and to love more.
