Why is it so hard to let go?

Why is it so hard to let go?

We’ve all been blessed with heart-breaking situations where people have wronged us or things haven’t gone the way we would like.  Moving past them is difficult.

If you’ve ended a relationship, job, or time in your life, it’s tough to let go and move on. 

You move on to the next relationship or job and just when things seem to be going well again, the old thoughts start to arise again, sabotaging things.

Why is it so hard to let go?  Why is it so difficult to forgive and forget?

Letting go can be hard because it means letting go of aspects of your past – aspects of you.  It also means letting go of your expectations of how things should have been.

Letting go hints of being wrong or allowing someone else to be right (when you know that what they did was wrong).

Unfortunately, it’s all in the past and there’s nothing you can do about it.  The drama, the holding on, is in your own mind.

You are the only one with the power to let it go.

“We do not heal the past by dwelling there; we heal the past by living fully in the present.” ~Marianne Williamson
