Learn to let go

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? -Mary Manin Morrissey

Master of Emotions

How do I change? If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labour. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions. -Og Mandino I believe that I have never changed much since I was a child when it comes to emotions department. As I have been telling my mom, when I felt very low, I imagined that I am rich, a princess, a queen, so much fantasy. These days when I am under stress, emotionally charged, I go to beauty parlor and have a hair cut. I go to the mall and admire beautiful things. I avoid staying home in a room. When I am sad and feel very lonely, I think of the widows and the orphans. When there are people who like to make me feel miserable, by ridiculing me, I pray for them.

The Secret of Life and the Elixir of Youth

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.--Buddha The reason for prolonged agony of failed romance/relationship is the tendency of some to continue clinging to the past. You will see them listen to the music they both love, the places where they use to go and or pondered on what have gone wrong. The reason for the failure to achieve dreams is the fear of failing. photo from classroomclipart.
