Letting Go

Today I have taken a very big step. I learned to “let go”.
All my life it seems I have been fighting what does not make me feel good or happy. I think that is a general instinct. You want things to go your way and no matter what you tend to take actions that will get you to that place.
But I have been thinking, and to try to change someone or something is not the best option. Sometimes things are just the way they are and instead of battling the odds you need to accept the fact that it is “just the way it is”.

Talk about a hard lesson to learn! We all want to be happy and feel content but sometimes the means to the end is not realistic and you are forced to realize that at some point.

It is at this point, that you have to say to yourself what is it that I really want? Is it just acceptance or more?

For me it was more.

I let the tongue slip..I told someone how much I cared and I think I ruined a very good friendship. This is part of the lesson..you take that chance of being “you”. Another may accept that or not. This part is out of your control and that is what I mean by saying sometimes things are just the way they are. To try and change this is fruitless.

Sometimes in life you have to give yourself the opportunity to say what you feel but with that you must be willing to accept the consequences.

I took that chance. And instead of pressuring someone to change, if you really care and accept them then sometimes the right thing to do is to “let go so better things can happen” for them, as well as, yourself.
