There are many people who believe holding on to things or relationships are signs of great strength and rise them above others but there are many times when it takes more courage to know that its time to let go, and then doing it.
Letting go is one of the most important skills we can learn in order to be happy in the one lifetime we get. It is an important lesson to relieve ourselves of unhealthy habits, relationships, connection to events, ideas, or simple pet peeves that come in the way of our life. Like they say; yesterday is gone, tomorrow is yet to come, and all we have is today.
Every day is truly precious and there is no better time than today to let go of negative thoughts, ideas, and other influences so that you can have a better present and future. The unpleasant things we hold on to take up precious real estate in our mind and heart. We focus and ferment on things that continue to cause us distress. By letting go, we give up the resistance and make more space for life-changing moments that would have otherwise never happened because there was no space in your life for them. To simplify: accept what is and let go of what was.
What Was?
Before anyone continues on this path, we must determine what is worth holding on to from our past and let go of what was once a pleasant influence but has changed into something else. As we grow older, most of us know what memories are important to hold on to. First step is to identify the memories and thoughts that cause us pain and discomfort and lack any lesson that we can focus on. If you’re holding onto something and find it hard to let go, take inventory of those thoughts. We have such a short amount of life and so much to accomplish, maybe there are some things that are just meant to experience for a brief moment and not to stay as a prick in our minds. Personal growth and change can be uncomfortable but nothing is more painful than being stuck in the past, where you no longer belong.
Our future hopes and happiness should never be defined by our fears of the future which only exists in our minds. It is a joy to follow our hearts, and a massive tragedy to let a hologram of fears to stop us.
What is?
There is no perfect moment to make positive changes in our life. The only meson is to stop expecting life to be perfect. To be the best we can be, we must no longer hold ourselves down with things that are out of our control. We have to be grown and matured enough to appreciate our experiences and hold on to the lessons we have learned. We have to simplify our lives, share the love we have today, embody our most caring and compassionate nature, and communicate honestly and truthfully. What is flourishes when we stop focusing on how unlucky we are, how life and its participants have wronged us, and remind ourselves about how blessed we are. There is always a way something can be worse, and it would be shame we cannot be grateful for our present.
“Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”

JUST CHILL
One man was climbing a tree when suddenly he slipped. He grabbed a branch and was hanging there. After an hour or so passed, he was feeling exhausted. He looked up to the heavens and cried out: “God, help me, please, help me.”
Suddenly the clouds parted and a deep voice resounded,
“Let Go!”
The guy paused and looked up at heaven once more, and said:
“Is there anyone else up there?”
