Let It Go!!!
"LET IT GO..!!!!
There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, Caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,and I know whatever God means for me to have. He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to...... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...... LET IT GO!!! If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth..... LET THEM GO!!! If someone has angered you ........ LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...... LET IT GO!!! If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ..... LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad attitude....... LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...... LET IT GO!!! If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him...... LET IT GO!!! If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....... LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...... LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling depressed and stressed . LET IT GO!!! If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying take your hands off of it;then you need to...... LET IT GO!!! Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2007!!! LET IT GO!!! Get Right, or Get Left .. think about it, and then .... LET IT GO! The Battle is the Lord's God Bless"
A friend of mine wrote this on her myspace blog and it really hit home for me. For so long I have held on to things that are/were toxic in my life. People that hurt me over and over or things that I knew were bad for me I couldn't let go. To me it was or has always been a challenge for me to try and fix things or make things right, but I'm starting to think that somethings can't be fixed. Some people can't change in ways you want them to. So my challenge for all these years should of been to let things go instead of trying to make things work. I'm a healer or fixer my nature. All (I think) Cancers are. We want to be the mommas for everything and everyone. That's just the way I am. But I can no longer do it. Physically I have to learn to let things go. I need to put my energy into things that matter, like my health and my husband and son. Into my friends (true loyal friends), family members that honestly care and to forget about the things that are broken and that can't be fixed and let them go. I think if I can honestly learn to let things go, I will find true happiness in myself. And if I'm happy then it'll pour out of me and make my life happy and my loved ones happy. I can't make anyone happy unless I'm truly happy myself and the only way to do this is to learn to LET THINGS GO.
This will be a mission that I probably will fail numerous times but I think once I get it down pat I will experience true zen so to say and I will have my "AHHHH" moment that Oprah always talks about. I look forward to this journey of letting things go but I know its going to be a tough job for me but one I know will only make me a better person. So as of now I am going to try my hardest to "Let It Go!"
