When You Know It's Time To Let Go

There comes a point in our life where we have an ah-ha! moment. It can be about friendships, work, school, and everything else under the sun. Sometimes these ah-ha! moments make you realize that it is time to let go.

When it comes to letting go we could take a lot of notes from Elsa, I mean she is the queen of letting go. She has her own song about it! Letting go can be a very hard thing, it can be even harder for people who have invested so much time into whatever. I know that for me, it's really hard especially when it comes to investing time into friendships. I already have a small circle and frankly, I don't want it to get any smaller. College, I dropped out and have never looked back. It was never for me. It took me a couple years to realize that, but I had no problem letting go. Work, I quit to marry my husband and don't regret it one bit. I am happy to be spending everyday with him and not trying to find another job to where I won't see him and have our schedules be terrible. Now the past when it comes to certain things, that can be a troublesome area to let go.

Last night, I had an ah-ha! moment. It all started with me thinking about what I regret while going to college in Texas. Of course, there is no way to change what you could and there's no point in dwelling upon it. And so I realized that I have a wonderful life now and that's what I need to be focused on.

Life brings us different routes that we can take. I chose to get married and be with someone I have known for eight years. Throughout knowing him, he has always been on my mind and somehow our paths have always crossed. He is my now and my future. Why focus on the past that will do nothing? And so, I must choose to let go. Let go of the negativity that I faced, decisions, worrying about things that don't matter, and everything else. It all needs to go! And sometimes, starting fresh is a very good thing.

When you know it is time to let go, don't fight it. We may not like what will happen when we do, but our heart always knows best. Deep down inside, we know what we need and we should always listen. Life never gets easier and neither does making choices, but at the end of the day worrying about something that is so insignificant isn't worth it. Keep moving forward and never look back.
