When we believe we are
losing control, we grab
on tight. If we
want to avoid pain, we
hold on for dear life.
When we are in fear of
losing, looking bad or
being abandoned, we
tighten our grip.
When our greatest fear
comes upon us, we clench
our fist and teeth,
close our eyes and hold
on. We must learn
how to let go. We
have the capacity to
live through any
adversity if we simply
let it go. We
cannot stop time or
destiny. Whatever
is going to happen has
already happened; we
must learn how to see it
through to the end.
When we hold on, we
prolong the pain.
When we dig our feet in,
we must be uprooted.
When the time comes for
growth and change, we
must have the courage
and faith to let go.
