Holding on and Letting Go

Share on:

Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future. – Daphne Rose Kingma

It’s only natural to want to hold on to things in our lives.  We treasure our memories, we hold on to keepsakes from past events, and boy oh boy, do we futurehold on to grudges.  I’m not opposed to holding on to treasured memories, but you can’t hold on to them so tightly that you can’t reach out and grab the future.  The future is out there, and you have the power to make it a great one, but not if you keep yourself mired in the past.  Open yourself up to the new and wonderful things that are coming your way.  Don’t try and recreate the past in what is coming.  The past is just that, the past.  Treasure the memories of the past, but don’t dwell on them and don’t live in the past.  Dust them off every now and again and visit them, but then put them away and move ahead.  Look forward to what is coming, and know that you have, in you, the ability to make it the most wonderful adventure ever.
