I'm 60, I've been in therapy for 5 years now, and this, this opened my eyes. Sadly, I've been fighting the wrong battle and doing everything I could do, so I did not let go. I wrote songs, I made mental images, I did everything I could possibly think of doing, just so I would never let go, of the feeling. With the help from my doctors, I was able to stop the medication, to see if this would help me focus, I was so afraid of letting go because if I let go, she would be lost forever. I wish I would have let go, letting go was the problem, I was the problem. Today, is the 1st day of letting go! Thank you!

[@judilopez1811]

I'm going through a heartbreak. The worst I've ever been through. Why? As a child, we are attached to our mother, then later we begin this attachment to a lover. Bottom line - it stems from childhood. I think Buddhism stresses not to be attached to anyone or anything. This is starting to make since. This was my lesson. Next time I will love and be sure to receive it. To love and keep my independence. To make sure what I give is reciprocated. They say love is blind....my eyes are wide open now. I will never be blinded with emotion again. Lesson learned.

[@zain4019]

Judi Lopez I disagree. Love itself is a beautiful feeling and connects us to a core part of ourselves. To fall in love is a wonderful experience and astonishing breathtaking parts of us can be revealed when we fall in love. Holding on to someone who has gone isn’t love, though. That’s need, hurt, fear. Our emotions tell us we may need to grieve, to love ourselves, to heal. The existence of pain isn’t a bad thing, it’s a sign we may need something we are not receiving, or to heal from a loss we may have gone through.

After spending years studying western philosophy, the ancients of Rome and Greece, I achieved a lot in my philosophical practices, but never found that sensation of zen and tranquility that I was always looking for. I achieved a lot, but the quality wasn't the best and I found myself exhausting and stressing myself to write more, write better, improve myself in the gym, find better friendships and relationships, in a sense, I was running into nowhere. When I switched to Eastern philosophical ideals, started to let go, did not force but allowed things to happen as they please, trusted the natural order of things, my writing improved exponentially like a bomb going off, my gym habits were practically set in stone, I found myself connecting to people with good hearts rather than ambitious minds, and though the relationship aspect is null, I've discovered what I truly need in a person. Everything changed in my life for the better and I would 10/10 recommend eastern philosophy as a course of life rather than most aspects of western. Thanks for these uploads! It's teaching me a lot!

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen."

I've learned a long time ago about letting go. It is always a pleasant surprise when you let go and receive what you want but even if it never materializes it is still the same.

The more important and financially off your are, the more others depend on you. More expectations to fulfill, more personal desires, and more fake people trying to get that power and resources from you. In the end when you achieve you dreams in terms of abundance and material, you realize that all that stuff rests on a gaping hole that you have no genuine person to share with. It becomes useless and lifeless, and that in itself will cause depression, drinking, and drug abuse. I suspect this is why it is so persistent in the "well off" world. Because chasing that approval from others by overachieving in the end does not bring it, and even if it does you're getting nothing out of that approval other than "redemption" you created in your head that was cause by jealousy and rage. Maybe becoming successful by doing what you love without expecting wealth is the key to abundant happiness. Chasing abundance with brute force by tolerating hardship of wasting you life doing what you hate usually results in bad things.

I waited for this for sometime, as many of us probably did, hoping that one day she would come back and we’d find each other again. Once she did come back one day I found us on two separate pages of life, no longer in synchronicity, and I stepped away from her. This was the girl next door, my first true love. It’s not as glamorous as it may seem. People grow apart though. In doing so we free ourselves. Hope this may help someone that feels empty because of a loss like this. Happiness comes from within.

[@Ray2311us]

It all only makes sense, we cannot force what we cannot control. I’m starting to understand that now after going through a lot in my life. Once you ‘let go’ all that is natural sets in. Life finally gives you peace like the branches that are blocked by the wall, it grows around it and not forcefully through it. It took me a very long time to grasp such a simple yet understandable concept of ‘flow’. For me now that soon I am going to move away somewhere I can finally transition into what I was meant to become like the branches that grow around the wall rather than through it. I can finally be at peace with myself and start to love myself. ✌🏼 ☮️

"Persist on letting go of the things that are attachments in your life.(karma) used in buddhism. Letting go is another form of liberation from one's past demons that holds an individual back from being great in life, or even finding out how great of a person you can be, and possibly how great your life can become." Be strong and let go. God bless to everyone who reads this.

"𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨." - 𝐑𝐮𝐦𝐢 Balance is the crux of life. Everything in life is in perfect balance and harmony. The night balances the day, the good balances the bad and so on. Even in atoms that are the very building blocks of the physical universe, there exists a positive charge (protons) that is balanced by the negative charge (electrons). In this quote, Rumi is right in saying that life is a balance between letting go and holding on. There is a time to hold on and then there comes a time to let go and release. The very act of releasing is powerful - it leads to healing, it helps recharge your energy and put things into perspective. In-fact, most of the times these things happen naturally. When you become tired of holding on, you naturally have a tendency to let go. When you let go, all that energy that got drained from you while holding on starts to replenish. You start to feel renewed to the point where you get encouraged to take action again. In this way, letting go helps you gain clarity so you can pursue things that really matter. So do not feel guilty to let go for that is inevitable and for the greater good. PS: Letting go is NOT the same as giving up.
