Let Go

Let Go

  • When you have people you love in your life, then care about them now because people are not replaceable. It’s all the more reason to show love and care now because they, too, are mortal, can die and leave us. Please don’t be ignorant or deny this fact, as it’ll make the loss even more unsettling.

  • Loss is one of our greatest fears, and we can’t keep what’s not ours, and we shouldn’t hold something that doesn’t want to stay. So let go of what’s not yours, leave things gracefully for your happiness, and never get attached to things outside your reasoned control.

  • We are all here for a short time, and we are all mortals, so don’t postpone things that matter to you for tomorrow. We all must treat this planet sensibly; it will be here even after we’re all gone.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
