What you need to do is let go of the way things were and just be with what's happening now. Circumstances change, we change, things change, and letting go of what we are holding on to can be a great relief. It is also the road to happiness.
When you stop holding on so tight - to ideas, beliefs, objects or beings you cherish, and precious concepts of who you are - you begin to live in a way that lets you flow with life. You can meet what life brings you and respond creatively, in trust, and with generosity of heart. You discover that letting go is something you do for yourself, not to yourself. Happiness doesn't depend upon what you have or what you hold on to. Rather, by learning the art of letting go, paradoxically we get what we really want. You step into the contentment and ease of a relaxed mind.
What thought or story am I believing right now?
Generosity is an active form of letting go, and it is a sure avenue to happiness.
Let It Go
Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold;
the holding of plans or dreams or expectations - Let it all go.
Safe your strength to swim with the tide.
The choice to fight what is here before you now
will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts to flee
from the very energy you long for. Let it go.
Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes through your days
whether you receive it gently
or will all your quills raised to defend against invaders.
Take this on faith: The mind may never find
the explanations that it seeks,
but you will move forward nonetheless.
Let go, and the wave's crest
will carry you to unknown shores,
beyond your wildest dreams or destinations.
let it all go and find the place of rest and peace,
and certain transformation.
