QUOTES ON LETTING GO

Ø  “The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

Ø  “If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate.”

Ø  “Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.”

Ø  “Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”

Ø  “You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.”

Ø  “No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”

Ø  “If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”

Ø  “Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.”

Ø  “Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.”

Ø  “We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”

Ø  “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.”

Ø  “There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”

Ø  “Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.”

Ø  “A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again.”

Ø   “Sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go but rather learning to start over.”

Ø  “Last night I lost the world, and gained the universe.”

Ø  “There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.”

Ø  “You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.”

Ø  “It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.”

Ø  “Never rearrange your life in order to meet Mr. Darcy half way. If he couldn’t see your worth at the moment you met then he won’t two years later. May the halls of Pemberly be filled with his regrets and your life filled with thankfulness because of this revelation.”

Ø  “I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It’s okay if you have to leave us. It’s okay if you want to stop fighting.”

Ø  “There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.”

Ø  “I have always found it odd that people who think passive aggressively ignoring a person is making a point to them. The only point it makes to anyone is your inability to articulate your point of view because deep down you know you can’t win. It’s better to assert yourself and tell the person you are moving on without them and why, rather than leave a lasting impression of cowardness on your part in a person’s mind by avoiding them.”

Ø  “Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.”

Ø  “If you didn't love him, this never would have happened. But you did. And accepting that love

Ø  “Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger”

Ø  “If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.”

Ø  “So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time, and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here”

Ø  “The day I understood everything, was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out. The day I knew peace was the day I let everything go.”
