Letting go/Surrender/Release
Oh my favorite. It took me years to figure this out. For some people, letting
go and moving on is like a walk in the park, for others it's akin to torture. I have read in so many books, let it go,
just let it go. Oh yea, and how do I do that? I'm just going to let my feelings go for someone, just toss them
out the window, no big deal, right? How many of us have been there, in love with someone who doesn't love us back, who
doesn't have the least bit of interest in you. Boy it wasn't hard for him/her to dump you was it and with no explanation
no less? Off on his/her merry way, and never looking back. He's/She's out there happy living his/her life, and
there you stand, heart in hand, and don't have a clue as to what to do next. Just let it go, boy that use to really
tick me off sometimes.
This applies to all types of emotional strife and upheaval whether relationship issues,
money issues, health issues, etc.
Surrender and release, let it go. What took me so long to figure out was how clenched
my fists were around the subject matter. I held on so tightly, the situation couldn't breathe so how in the world was
I to let it go. I clung so tightly because I wanted it to be my way, not the way it was, but the way I wanted it to
be. I wouldn't dare let go, I fought it every step of the way. Reality finally set in, it didn't matter at all
how I felt, so now what was I going to do with this mess in order for me to start living and move on. I searched back
in time and found out why I clung so tightly in this situation. It was a rerun on a situation when I was a child.
I clung so tight because it was the only thing I knew. I learned I didn't have to think this way anymore, and that I
deserve so much better. So surrendering is accepting the situation as it is. No more controlling, no more
struggling, just accepting it as it is. This enables you to release it once you give up that control factor, and then
the letting go takes place. It's like a kite who's string has broke. The kite just disappears from the sky, climbing
higher and higher.

Forgiveness
This is a tough one for a lot of people, and understandably so. This is where
the Blame Game is played. Blame everyone else for your demise, for your unhappiness, your bitterness. It's their
fault. Like you have no control over your own life, you just gave it away to all those other people you blame.
Take your power back, it's your life, not theirs. You choose and create your life, not them. By hating those who
hurt you, what benefit do you derive from that? Think about it. You are holding a twenty-year-old grudge, who
are you hurting, the other guy? Of course not, you are only hurting you, mentally and physically. You hate your
mother for not being there for you, that's understandable, but because your mother wasn't there for you, you are going to
let her actions continue to ruin your life and health? And it will ruin your life and health. Remember, it is
you who is ruining your life, not your mother. Stop letting other people's actions destroy your life. Haven't
they done enough damage, so why let it continue. Don't you want some peace and happiness before you leave this planet?
Then take back your power. Forgive those who treated you badly, you are not condoning their actions, you are forgiving
the people you have hurt you. Until you learn the steps to forgiveness, your life will continue to plague you with bitterness,
misery, and illness. Forgiveness gives you freedom, peace, serenity, happiness. All the qualities of life you
deserve.
