Letting Go
"Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go," Herman Hesse once said. This quote has meaning to me. This quote reminds me that it is okay to let things go. That it is not wrong to forget and forgive. It does not mean you are cruel when you let someone or something go. It just means that you are strong enough to realize that they may hold you back from being the best you can be. Yes, it is important to always remember good times. Memories are important. However, you cannot live in the past and cling to those memories. Let go. You just might feel more alive and free. There is nothing holding you back when you just let go of things. You will have a happier life when you learn how to let things roll off your shoulder. You will accomplish more when you have nothing holding you back. This quote reminds me to just let go and accept change.

I agree with this post because letting go allows time for the soul to heal and move on from whatever has wounded it. It is important to release your chains in order continue with your life in a healthy way. But I also think it is important to remember our past. After all, our past is what makes us who we are.Remembering our past helps us to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Also, I agree that accepting change is important and inevitable. Whether we like it our not, change will happen. We just have to learn to go with the flow.
