About Letting Go

They keep telling us that letting go is about forgiving and forgetting. They say when you do forgive and forget you are released from the past, from the abusive relationship, from the ghost of that person hunting you. But, what if you forgive, and forget, and try to move on but still feel stuck in their energy? As if they have octopus arms that keep dragging you back to their being, and there seems no way to escape!

Maybe what you have been told all your life is wrong. Maybe in some cases it is not enough to just forgive and forget. Maybe, just maybe, you need to walk one extra mile in their favour so their arms are unwind and you are able run your own life. You believe he/she is a devil, who doesn't deserve good? Maybe they are, but the universe has other plans than having them punished directly for the wrong the did to you. Maybe, they are not as bad as you believe. Maybe, it is all about walking that extra mile to release yourself. It is about you, not about who they are or what they did.

Now I understand the "turn your cheek" in a whole different way. It is not just about controlling your anger, or not being vengeful. It is about being GENEROUS, not to those who hurt you, but to yourself! Being generous and wise enough to leberate your soul from the past, the people, and everything that could tie you down and limit your being.

Walk that extra mile, send them a gift, help them out, be the good in their life (which you really are).
