Letting Go
" What will happen if you take a bottle of water in your hand and hold it for 24 hours ? "
A student replied " your hand will be paralyzes due to the extreme pain you will face for holding on to that bottle for such a long time ".
The professor replied " If you were holding the bottle just to pour water that would have gone unnoticed but the only difference is that holding on to that bottle caused so much stress and pain" .
The lesson to his students was that the bottle represents our challenges, our problems, our worries, our anxiety, that longer we hold them the more pain they can do to us.
Forgiveness and the ability to letting it go and the ability to rise above the challenges that have been caused by others in our life is such an important ability because we learnt to accept apologies that we never received.
I believe that we cant fix ourselves by breaking someone else.
and this is not easy at all because we've been caused pain,
Some times our hearts have been broken,
Some times our trust has been misused,
Some time our loyalty has been tested.
And our ego wants us to put others in our place, but we should put ourselves in their place.
Letting go and forgiveness prevents that negative thoughts from being born in our hearts and keep those valuable people in it forever.
