Let it go!
There are people in life who will walk away from you....
And hear me when I tell you this! When people 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.
When people walk away from you, let them walk.
Your destiny is and never was tied to anybody that left you.
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 of your life 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. I believe in good-bye. And It's not that I'm hateful, or enjoy cutting certain things, people or relationships out of my life, it's the fact that I believe whatever God/Karma/Destiny intends for me to have in this life, I'll have it! It will be given to me. Whatever relationships are supposed to be healed or mended, they will be mended. And if its not working out that way, then I don't need it.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong
to you or 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 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 THEM GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed ........
LET IT GO!!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. Don't be afraid to say goodbye to certain things or people and...

Tink...thank you, so much! I'm sure your post will hit home with a lot of folks.
I once asked my sponsor, "How do you let go?" She replied, "You stop holding on"! Such a simple concept...why do we insist on complicating it?
Unfortunately, the "Detach With Love" doesn't work too well with me...it's always more like "Detach With Anger"...guess I have to just keep working on that.

I have a hard time with this also. Which is why I felt so compelled to share this. I came across this on my myspace and it hit so close to home. I printed it out and have it taped on my mirror. Something to read every morning, so it stays fresh in my mind throughout the day. It definately helps. Im glad that it touched some of you.

Letting go is so hard for me because I'm afraid to be alone. I've held on to boyfriends that i have fallen out of love with because i am afraid to be alone. learning to be comfortable and happy with myself and just myself is one of the hardest things i've had to do.
