"The Power to Create World Peace Lives Within Each and Everyone of Us." Scary

I've learned that life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets; so love the people who treat you right; forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, but it will be worth it!


...one thing I do, letting go those things which are past,
and stretching out to the things which are before...
- Philippians 3:13


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.

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 goodbye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in goodbye. 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 THEM GO!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...

LET THEM GO!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...

LET THEM GO!

If someone has angered you...

LET THEM GO!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...

LET THEM GO!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...

LET THEM GO!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents...

LET THEM GO!

If you have a bad attitude...

LET THEM GO!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...

LET THEM GO!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.......

LET THEM 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 THEM GO!

Get Right or Get Left, think about it, and then...

LET THEM GO!

To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else
To let go is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I can't control another
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging outcomes, but to allow others to create their own outcomes
To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish the moment
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future
TO LET GO IS TO FEAR LESS AND LOVE MORE!


Sometimes letting go is the best option. We may loathe letting go sometimes, but there are times when it is the best choice to make, when a given relationship is no longer joyful, for example. Doesn't matter if it is your fault or someone else's, there are times when your presence is not uplifting in someone's life. In such a moment, it is your absence that might be required.

Feeling loved should not be hard work, it should be hard fun. You may get sprained from playing football, but it was a good experience getting sprained while playing!

Someone else's anger toward you will be harder for them to cling to if you aren't feeding it with your attention and your presence. They will have to carry that burden all by themselves, which means constantly stoking that anger to keep it lit.

Take a rest of your burdens, let go of them. Life is too short to live with burdens on your soul. Let go of your burdensome relationships. Heal them with your absence.

May you know the liberation of letting go of your burdens.
May you learn to love and forgive your enemies by letting go of them.
May both your presence and your absence be a blessing to all...

the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.”
