Sometimes You Have To Let Go

Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.
Sometimes even though we feel like we have great plans for our lives with the people that we have in them now, not knowing that God has much bigger plans for us which may not necessarily include the people that are in them now. In order for us to continue in life sometimes we must allow some of our plans including those that we are involved with fall, in order to learn how to become stronger individuals by learning how to be willing to let go.

Not everything in life including our relationships will be something that we will be able to hold on to forever, and this is something that we have to learn to be able to grow and build throughout our whole lifetime. Some people will come in your life, just to teach you how to let go, don't resist, it isn't always about giving up, sometimes it's about learning how to move on.

Why You Need to Let Go and Move Forward.

Throughout our lives we go through different experiences, some are positive and some we see as negative and unpleasant. When you hang on to a negative or unpleasant experience you are constantly thinking about it. And when you constantly think about that negative event you prevent yourself from healing. How many pleasant memories do you recall everyday? Chances are you're like most people and you have a number of unpleasant experiences that you're holding on to, which is preventing you from moving forward.
The more you carry the worse life gets. Why? Because you've filled your mind up with negative experiences, because you continually hang on to something that doesn't allow you to move forward, in short, you're carrying useless baggage that's really slowing you down.

Do more of what makes you happy.
In order to do more of what makes you happy, you must first do some soul searching and find out what in life really makes you happy. Many times in life our own mind and free will get clouded by other people's visions for our lives and sometimes it gets hard to see our vision for ourselves. To get out of and away from everybody else's thoughts and plans for you, you have to take time to hang with yourself daily.

As a person starts to develop the utmost humble confidence in their self, doing what makes them happy will be a puzzle that will seem to be getting easier by the day to solve. Do more of what makes you happy, do what pleases your heart, leaves you feeling blessed, and allows for you to bless others at the same time.

Go out for a walk

Do something fun that you haven't done in a long time

Do something creative

Complete some minor chore that you've been avoiding

Get in contact with an old friend or acquaintance you haven't seen for a while

Happiness is within you. When you stop the chatter of the mind and expel your worries and fears you find out that happiness surfaces from within you
