Letting Go...

Sometimes we hold on to something we love so tight because we are afraid that something so great won't happen twice.  But until  you learn to let go, you will never know!  Our lives have ups and downs for a reason!  We may never know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have left!  At that moment, we see our foundation of faith and face all four deep hopes!  To make room for more you must release some and remember, when one door closes, a window opens somewhere!  

Find someone who will:
Never get tired of kissing you everyday.
Hug's you when you're jealous.
Understandingly keeps silent when you're mad.
Squeezes your hand when you're not in the mood.
Plans and imagines the future with you in it and when you find someone...
Never let go.

Maybe your first love is the one that sticks with you because it's the only person who will ever receive all of you.  After that, you learn better.  But, most of all, no matter what, a piece of you forever remains left behind in the heart of the one you loved - a piece no future lover could ever get, no matter what.  That piece holds innocence, the belief that love really can last forever.  It holds friendship and pain, trial and error, that one kiss you'll never forget, and that night under the stars you can ever get back.  It holds youth and everything you thought love would be, everything that was proven wrong.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

It's okay to lose your pride over someone you love, but don't lose someone you love over your pride.

Sometimes, in order to be happy in the present moment, you have to be willing to give up hope for a better past.

I believe you can still love someone, but not like them.  You love them for the person they were when they were with you, and for how they made you feel at one point.  you still love them, and you might always. But you can still not like them, their personality might have changed.  They might have gone the wrong way, they might have lost themselves.  Or, they might have just given up on you.  Or everything they believed in before.  It can happen.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,  you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.  If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.  What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.  If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.  The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.  Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.  In the final analysis it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

Never let go of someone if they are willing to fight for you no matter what you have put them through, it's rare to find someone who loves you like that.

Love isn't perfect.  It isn't a fairytale or a storybook and it doesn't always come easy.  Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go.  It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, and impossible to live without.  Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, every second of it was worth it because you did it together.

Letting go takes love.  To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.  To let go is not to cut myself off, it's the realization I can't control another.  To let go is not to enable, but allow learning from natural consequences.  To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.  To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it's to make the  most of myself.  To let go is not to care for, but to care about.  To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.  To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.  To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their destinies.  To let go is not to be protective, it's to permit another to face reality.  To let go is not to deny, but to accept.  To let go is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.  To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.  To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody, 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.
