Past events and non-events should be let go if you want to live a free life. If you want to move on, release yourself from the prison of your past. If you want to see the light, stop holding yourself back in the darkness. You can create your best life by resisting thoughts that steal your joy, forgetting the confrontation that had happened can lead to it continuing to live in your mind causing you to lose the joy from the rest of your day. Someone did you wrong and it's important that you let it go. They will only worry more if you allow them to control your thoughts like a virus, which will eventually affect everything else in your life negatively. The best revenge is always moving on and showing your ego is brave enough to do this. You are also strong enough to enjoy your life as it is despite whatever struggles or controversies may crop up. Let them have their accidents elsewhere- focus on the good things life has given you instead!
Don't rely on your past to define your future. Committing to your future will make it a strong, healthy one. If you don't let go of your resentments and seek revenge, you'll win in the long run. Richard Carson once said that the key to having a good life is to focus on what you can control rather than dwelling on what you can't. If you're not going to talk about something during your last hour alive, make it a top priority during your lifetime. Maybe we should all take his advice. Your ego will tell you that everything will be perfect once everything is done, but your soul knows the truth: be happy now because everything is perfect in its own way
Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past could be any different. I know this space I want to live in, and I think for many others you think forgiving means accepting what has happened to you. Well, it is actually accepting that it happened--not wishing that it could have been otherwise. Forgiving means giving up the hope not holding on hoping things would have been different. It also means letting go of the hope that the past could be any different and when I got there, I realized it took me to a new level of being a better person. I don't hold grudges or resentments for anything or anyone in my past.
Taking responsibility for your life is a key step to forging freedom, success, and happiness. Not everyone who has done wrong by others deserves to be punished, though. It's not condoning their behavior or refusing to forgive. It's simply taking back power from them by using the knowledge that you're no longer suffering. Who wins when you're free? You do! If you move on, forget about them, and create the best life possible for yourself, who wins? You! And if you never look back and maintain a positive attitude, they lose.
For me, the greatest act of love is letting go. It’s telling yourself that you trust and that you believe in you, even when you have doubts. Not trying to control situations you have absolutely no control over or be controlled by anyone on how to live or what to do with your own life. It’s allowing you to be free in your own life, be confident in who you are and live life unapologetically without looking back,this is what the journey of life taught me and I look forward to learning more from it.
Take care and God bless you.
