Let Go

Lately, I have been trying to follow a motto about letting things go, for some reason I have been having a very tough time because I am afraid to get hurt or step out of my comfort zone.

Some inspirational for letting go:
To 'let go' does not mean to stop caring;it means I can't do it for someone else.
To 'let go' is not to cut myself off;it is the realization that I must not control another.
To 'let go' is not to fix;but to be supportive.
To 'let go' is not to be in the middlearranging all the outcomes;but to allow others to effect their destinies.
To 'let go' is not to be protective;it is to permit another to face reality.
To 'let go' is not to regret the past;but to grow and live for the future.
To 'let go' is to fear less and love more.
---------

You cannot erase the past; you must let it go.
You cannot change yesterday; you must accept the lessons learned.
You cannot stop time or stand still in a world racing around in circles;
you must dance with the wind and sing with the songs that are playing.
Let whatever mistakes you have made remain in the shadows of times gone by,
and let love be the answer to the mysteries of life.
---------
Letting go is one of the hardest lessons in life, Yet over changing seasons and passing time,You will have to learn to let go of certainPeople, relationships, situations and things,That fall way beyond your control.
Tenacity and the attitude of not giving up,Work wonders on many occasions but not all,As some things just are not meant to be,No matter how hard you fight and cling to them,And forcing your will upon things just repel them further.
There will always be people,Who will turn out in ways you never expected,And it dawns on you that you have to let them go,So that they can fulfill their destinies,While you go on to fulfill your own life path.
As life likes to dish out surprises and challenges,Sometimes it is only through letting go,When your heart cries in anguish,That in the agonizing process that you realize,What is truly worth holding onto.
Letting go does not signify weakness,As it might take more courage to let go than holding on,Like the big, inflexible tree that snaps in the storm,While tiny blades of grasses yield and live on,Revealing the strength of letting go.

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that youdon't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to ...LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...LET IT GO!!! If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge .. LET IT GO!!! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ...LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and Life is trying to take you to a new level... LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves... LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed... LET IT GO!!! If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to... LET IT GO!!! Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2006 !!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! For the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take a moment to reflect: Absorb this message into your life. Feel it become part of your thinking and your power. By letting go you are claiming BACK all the power/energy you spent on this other person or obstacle. Now, when you're feeling a bit clearer, ask yourself a simple question (and ask it often in future):What is it I have that makes life worth living for?
