Let it go!

Please do not submit, subject, or saddle yourself with an obsession that will prevent you from arriving at a peaceful relationship or a purposeful solution or successful and meaningful communication. If someone has wronged you, let it go. If someone has insulted you, let it go. If someone owes you money that you will never collect, let it go. If you have been humiliated or offended, the event that occurred can never be reversed. It is history. Move on. Let it go. Do not hold on to a grudge because you feel comfortable with it. Do not refuse to forgive. Do not refuse to forget. Obviously there are some people who cannot be your best friends. Obviously you will not be wise by continuing to submit yourself to abuse or mistreatment. Nevertheless, what has happened, has happened. Now you have a responsibility. You have a responsibility to yourself. You have a responsibility to not build barriers that will prevent you from moving on and doing great things. If those unpleasant memories can serve to help you make better decisions then so be it. If those unpleasant memories can be like ladders and stairs of advancement, then make it happen. Let it go. Don't stop, move on. You have no idea what the levels of achievements that await you are. You have no idea of the possibilities. Use your experiences to help you succeed. Never ever wallow in self pity. Let it go. There is a life to live and there are beautiful experiences waiting to happen. Therefore, let it go.
