Letting go

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait! When we meet someone and we fall in love; we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left. How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone, the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small. Even though you may want to move forward, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn to let go. Release the fear; release the hurt. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.
