Thursdays Thoughts~ just let it go
“Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.”
-Eileen Caddy
The great thing about quotes is that each quote means something different to every person. It starts with one person making a comment on something that has happened in their life which then adds light to a situation that another person may be going through at that moment. That’s why I love finding quotes online. I love finding something that will help me with what I’m going through at that time, something that will make me take a step back and look at the situation differently.
So much has happened in my past which I have allowed to affect my life now and if I don’t let it go it will continue to affect my future. Problems within my relationship, fear that I hold on to from things that I’ve seen others go through in my past, all of these things follow me on a daily basis and hold me back from moving on with my life. I tend to bring this situations back up often to make my point when fussing, I think about how they affected me back then and the fear that it may all happen again holds me back from allowing people to know me, get close to me, and even love me fully.
I have been working hard on letting things go. I have realized especially in my relationship that if I worry constantly about the past or that the past may be repeated then I will always be unhappy. I will never have a good life. If I can’t allow the ones I love to fully love me back without being knocked away by this wall I’ve created then I’m only hurting myself.
The past doesn’t matter…. people do change…. and today is all that is important.
