Letting GO!

Recently I have noticed that people have a hard time of letting things or people go. I understand that it can be hard to let go. I had a hard time letting go of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Power Rangers, and my Superman tighty whiteys but I did. Those are just example of how letting go can be an embarrassment.
The theme of letting go came today because I had to let someone go. The main reason I let her go was so we both can be happy and live. Another factor was that her parents did not like me and it was stressing both of us seeing each other sparingly. The only thing that prolonged both our pain was love. I am not the soft hearted or Romeo type of guy but this girl made me fall and I had her loving me too. I was walking back from one of my classes today and heard a song that inspired me. The song was by J. Holiday song titled, "Fly". All I basically did was man up and made the decision to let someone, whom I truly cared about and possibly could have spent my whole life with, go. Letting go is a sign of maturity and understanding. I understood the situation was tough on both of us so I made the decision because we both knew that neither one of us was willing to let the other person go.
Another situation that happened recently to someone I am close to. He faced a dilemma to choose 2 great girls. I am not going to give away any names or clues to who it is but I can say it is not me. Anyway, the situation escalated to the point where my friend had to make a decision. In other words he had to hurt someone and break their heart. As we all know, boys are indecisive and cannot make a concrete decision. So with that being said, my friend chose one girl but kept going back and forth between the two until he had to make a decision or lose them both. He broke one person's heart but healed another heart. He has undergone a change and has even matured.

Letting go has been my whole theme for today because also in life, you must let people or things, that are hindering you, go in order to grow.
This growth could be translated into new found happiness or possibly finding something better to take the place of what u let go. My examples of letting go dealt with emotions but there are numerous other "letting go" situations.
So today I challenge you to re-evaluate your life and figure out who/what is holding you back from being the best you can be.
