Do not cry over the past, its gone. Do not stress about the future, it hasn't arrived .live in the present and make it beautiful. Anonymous Letting go means Forget. Forget the painful memories and thoughts, Stop dwelling in the past and free yourself from unhappy feelings and the hurts you received from somebody. People who hold on to these past hurts often relive the pain over and over in their minds and get ?stuck? in this pain, in this hurt.
Your mind remains cluttered with Negatives blocking your way forward. Do not let the past hold sway over you. Do not let your mind focus on missed opportunities, slights and failures .Focus on what lies ahead. If you do let go it will help you freeing yourself from the fear and from something trivial and insignificant that happened in the distant past and has no relevance in the present and is hindering your progress... I may narrate here something about the advice I got about letting go from two of my family members.
In my usual sittings on and off with my younger daughter in law and younger daughter, I would in the course of conversation drift to some past painful incidents that had caused a lot of hurts to me . Whenever an opportunity arose I would mention that. It became so repetitive that both of them a bit assertively told me? Dad how long you will live in the past , please live in the present ,don't read the history of past , you are a dreamer ,enjoy the real dreams of future; If you continue living with the past hurts, it will kill your creativity.
Let go the past please., Don't replay the past memories, Don't struggle with hurts you were inflicted or failures you had in the past Why do you invest lot of time in 'what if ',could have, should have done? differently . This will be self destructive, and will prevent you from enjoying the present and planning for the future. Don't get stuck in the past dad.? What they said made sense and I acted upon their advice and started devoting more time to reading and writing, I am not sure if I have forgotten those of mine who really behaved with me very nastily and caused very deep hurts but certainly I have forgiven.
Result is the rebirth of my creativity. I have become more mellowed .After getting unfettered from the negative and painful thoughts of the past. I wrote my memoirs, as well as wrote many articles That's the advantage from pulling yourself free out of the grip of past painful hurts.
And the lesson is- Focus on the present - the here and now. And do not weep for the past. I unshackled the grip of the anger and resentment. My letting go removed the block. It liberated me from the clutches of resentment and anger. It made me stop telling myself that story where ? I am forever the victim of this other person's horrible actions. When you focus on the here and now, you have less time to think about the past.
