No, don't worry, this is not another post of how to let go of the person that you love but can't be with you. Although in a sense it is but in a different way.
This is a post about loving yourself. Yes, another post on that. Why? because in many ways self love is the key to being able to express love to others. Real acceptance and love of oneself is not narcissist, in the realization of self love we will love everyone else. On the realization that we are one, the love for thee and the love for me will not compete against each other. But a deeper explanation of this will be in another post.
So, what are we letting go ? on basis on loving ourselves and as a consequence of, we let go of all the feelings that we carry that prevents us from evolving. Feelings such as anger, gilt, blame, shame, and sadness, just to name a few.
At the top of that list is letting go of anger and resentment towards anyone that you feel "did you wrong". It doesn't matter what that person did. Let it go.
Why let it go?
1. Let it go, if you love yourself and your state of mind (peace) is more important to you than any action anyone else can do. You control your emotions and can decide what affects you and how you want to react to it.
2. Let it go, if you where that person, you would have done exactly the same thing. Yes, exactly the same thing. If would have had the same childhood, the same experiences, the same DNA, you would have acted the same way. We react different. We have had different experiences. At times we tend to be unforgiving of others because we believe, that we would have done something else if we where in a given situation. But our perception of how we would have acted that might not be accurate. We cannot really place ourselves in someone else "shoes" and say that would have acted different. We are not in their shoes.
3.Let it go, like someone once said, "holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". You anger is affecting you, a lot more that it is affecting the other person, really. .
This applies to other feeling not just anger. The extra weight upon your soul that these feelings amount are only a burden if you choose to carry it.
For those that ask me, I am going to try to put the post on both languages.
