Letting Go...

I recieved this email weeks ago and I thought I should share this...
Not because I am letting go but I think this is such a nice one to think about when you need to let go and live your life and go on....
Good morning...
My day at work is over I wish to get some sleep later ...hehehehe


Letting Go…
They say that if you love someone, you should let
him go. If he comes back to you, then he's yours, if he
doesn't, then he was never meant to be.
However, no one in her right mind would let someone
she loves go. Yet, we all want to do the right thing
because if we ever want to look back, we want to be
able to say that at least, at one time in our lives,
we were magnanimous and brave. Still, magnanimity
costs. And courage hurts.
The truth is that our first instinct when someone we
love pulls away is to hold on. We hold on because
the thought of losing the one person we love is too
painful to bear. And in our pain, we lose sight of
that is sane. We only see the need to stop someone
from fleeing and so instead of giving way, we block
the path for his get-away. However, it is madness to
cling on to someone who perhaps no longer wants you.
Let him go. What are you afraid of? That he won't be
back? The truth is that you can't really hold on to
someone who doesn't want you anymore, anyway, so
there really is no point in holding on.
You might as well, let go with dignity and grace.
Letting go is difficult because it is against human
nature. It is saying "no" when you want to say
"yes."
It is resisting the tide. It is walking away when
you want to stay. It is transcending our humanity and
rising to our divinity. Letting go commands us to be
larger than life. Don't be so hard on yourself if
you cannot let go. No one ever said it would be easy.
But if you know what is good for you, then, you must
learn to do what is hard and what is painful to do.
For if you really want to know if this love is meant
for you, then, you must have the courage to submit it
to its final test.
Of course it will be terrifying. Of course it will
hurt. And if he doesn't come back, then, of course
it will be devastating. But there is life after the
tears and the heartbreak if you can let go of your love
and hold on to your faith. You cannot will what is not
willed for you. And in the end, you will realize
that what is not willed for you is not what is right for
you.
When you're old and gray, you want to be able to
look back and say, "Once upon a time, I fell in love and let him go because I wanted to know if the winds would bring
him
