Letting Go To Move On

More times than not you cannot move forward until you move on.....by LETTING GO!  Couple of things with actually 'letting go'.  First, you have to legitimately forgive yourself or others in order to let go of whatever.  True forgiveness doesn't mean you forget, but does mean you don't hold on to the emotion of whatever it is.  To hold on is only punishing you over and over again.  Whether it is yourself or someone else, you are torturing yourself for something from the past in the present again and again.  Is doing so solving or resolving anything?  NO!  Is harboring such negative emotion bettering your present or future?  NO!  Is holding on with such a firm grasp actively harming your emotional well being and physical health?  YES!  Let go and feel lighter emotionally and physically!!!  From a Christian standpoint, if Christ can forgive us, all of us, then who are we to think we are unforgiveable?  Once you ask Christ for forgiveness, it's done, over, don't ask Him again and don't punish yourself over and over again.  Move forward into the future!  Revel in the present!  And Don't REPEAT your mistakes, missteps, or whatever.....And if you fall, we're human, forgive, try harder, move forward!
