The Art of Letting Go

by Rania Naim

Anything that feels forced or harder than it should be or causes you pain and distress is not meant for you.

Things that are meant for you have a way of flowing smoothly into your life. The more you fight for something that is not meant for you, the more it will fight you.

We are just programmed to complicate life sometimes.

But nothing is a waste of time, even if it feels like it, we are here to make mistakes and learn lessons to grow as individuals, if we keep holding on to toxic situations or toxic people because we’ve already done too much or it’s too late to change things, we are only setting ourselves up for a miserable life.

Some endings are not bad; sometimes they are not even endings, just bridges to new beginnings.

The truth is, you will always find something or someone that makes you feel this way again, new passions will emerge and good things will happen twice and as many times as they want, and will probably be a better and more convenient fit for you.

Holding on to something out of fear that it will never happen again, is the definition of fear. We have to be fearless in letting go.

Forgive yourself enough to let go of even the parts of you that dim your light.
