LETTING GO

Holding onto things or people worth letting go is not only hurtful but also a waste of your life and your happiness. Letting go means a better future. 

One of the hardest thing most of us face in life is LETTING GO. Some of the reasons why most of us don't let go are: 

• Fear of losing someone/something. For example, we have all seen people being emotionally/physically abused in a relationship/marriage or hold onto a relationship/marriage that just isn't working out because of love or the impact that the person has in their life or fear that the person they have is irreplaceable. And yes, am saying emotionally abused as most people are not aware of this or don't think it is a problem. (Topic for another day). They even start to look for excuses or justifications to make it work. 
• Simply because you just decide to not to let go. For instance, sometimes you allow yourself to live with so much anger for so many weeks, months or years because you can't forgive, that you are hurt until anger turns into hate. How is this worth it? 
• Fear of change/not accepting reality. Sometimes you hang onto people whom you have lost (could be they have passed away or have moved on from our lives) because you feel like you can't move on or live without them. You can't cope with life as they were our everything. 

Sometimes you find people put so much effort into thinking of ways to not let go of things/people worth letting go. Example, by keep stalking them on social media or places they hang out, by hating a person, by making bad relationships/marriage work, by keeping things like clothes, by going places they used to hang out with someone whom they have lost as they are scared to lose that memory. 

How is all this affecting you? Here are some; 

• You start to avoid going places thinking you may bump into someone you don't like. 
• You start avoiding some of your friends because they remind you of someone you lost. 
• You start to dwell into things you can't change. 
• You stop doing your daily chores/activities. 
• You start to hate your life or yourself. 

What am trying to say here is, not letting go can make you stop living your life. Little do we know is, we prevent ourselves to be happy, we prevent ourselves to have a better future. Its not healthy. 

How do we let go? Here are few; 

• Forgive people who have hurt you in one way or another. 
• Do not always ignore that voice which tells you he or she is not worth keeping in your life or work for. Move on. 
• Relieve that painful memory. 
• Most of it all, love yourself, love your life, love what you do. Know your worth. 
• Talk to someone you trust about your problems. You may be surprised how talking help. 

You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have all the control. Do not let things or people in the past or even present make u feel like you are worthless or you can't live anymore. Learn to let things or people go. 

Anything (could be something that reminds you of someone) or anyone whom when you think of, you hurting is worth letting go. You deserve happiness. Learn when to hold on and when it's time to let go. 

"Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over" —Guy Finley
