An article sparks my interest on lessons about letting go - an article from a columnist, SEJ. It says that apart from material possessions, learning to let go of our emotional baggage is good for the soul. Carrying the historical emotional baggage prevent us from living a complete life. And, healing begins with a forgiving heart. That is real freedom.
You might think letting go is not hard, but it is only when you faced the same issue again and being frustrated or hurt, that means you have not let it go.
How do we let go of our emotional baggage?
Take a deep breathe, recognize it, confront it and let it go. It may not be easy, but it is not something impossible to do. Sometimes, you just have to face the issue head on, if not, the thoughts will still linger on, and so will the scar. Covering it up does not do any good, nor will it go away on its own. It will still keep coming back to you, in one way or another. So, instead of facing it numerous times, why not solve it once and for all.
Just remember, though it is not easy, it is not impossible either.
You might think letting go is hard, but when you faced the same issue again and find that you no longer feel annoyed or sad , that means you have let it go.
And when that time comes, you will find yourself happier than before and is able to enjoy your life even more. And who knows, you might even able to help those around you who are still carrying their baggage around.
Just remember, when you have actually went through the hurdle, nothing else will be too hard to cross.
