"Don't be afraid to let go. Every new adventure begins with the ending of another." - The Better Man Project
Why do we get so scared when we have to let go of something?
Honestly, it mostly revolves around the idea that we don't think we will find anything better.
We think that what we experienced in the past is the best possible thing that could have happened to us and that nothing else in the future will come along to replace it.
But when you really look at it, we live in a world full of "one thing ending and another thing replacing it." It's just our minds that keep us stuck always thinking about things that happened in the past. It's our minds that keep us out of living in the present moment.
If it's someone you had to walk away from, at one point in your life there was someone before them who you had to heal from.
If we stay open, another person will come into your life and heal all of the pain that the previous person had created. They will care for you in ways that makes you feel at ease once again.
And it will happen again...
And another after that...
One day...someone will come into your life who will completely knock your socks off and love you in a way that you will never want to end. They will refuse to leave you because you mean that much to them and will do anything to keep you.
That will be an incredible day.
So until then, be gentle with yourself and know that the universe has a wonderful way of giving you exactly what you need to grow.
Notice how I didn't say "want."
These lessons can be difficult and they can harbor a lot of pain, but they are exactly what's necessary to help you grow and move forward with your life.
By staying completely open to experiencing all of the different colors of life, you will live in the present moment and continue growing.
That's a happy life. That's one of fulfillment.
Trust that.
