Letting Go

It's weird that how no matter how many people will tell you to let things go.... only you yourself will know when the right time is to really have the strength and the courage to tread on new grounds and to finally close another chapter in ones life.

Once you come to terms with this, things ideas, and thoughts that may have probably tormented you as recently as a couple of days ago will no longer have the same affect now. It's like water beads running down Gortex, it no longer has the same effect where it can permeate through.

It's fascinating how one's healing process can really begin when one has finally let go. The most interesting aspect of this is that the external factors are no different then what it was before. It all has to do with you.. it's your choice on whether or not you allow someone else actions or words affect you.

This is way easier said than done and i guess as time can heal all wounds, it's only until you reach that point in time where either the threshold of pain is too great or when you have finally realized that it is entirely out of your control can you slowly steer your life back on track where the focus is you. All these are internal forces that are at work your eternal environment has not changed one bit. Unfortunately the pain only goes away when you finally come to terms of letting go of a love that was never meant to be.

Once you let go, the memories that you have had with the person is no longer painful. It is no longer a reminder of what you had lost but rather it is a reminder of what you can potentially have and also have the opportunity to seek in the future, and to remind yourself to never be complacent and settle for anything less. It's like tasting your favourite type of food for the first time.. who is to say that you will not savour anything else as pleasing to your palate in the future. Life is full of endless possibilities, you just have to look for them and believe that it really exists out there.

Instead of viewing a past relationship as the main movie in your life. Why not view a past relationship as a trailer or sneak preview of what is yet to come?

Ok the old me is coming back the forever optimist.... but don't we all live in Faith?
