whichwayisup Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Fantastic thread!! Except that reading "Let it go" so many times has that stupid Frozen song in my head 3 Link to post Share on other sites
UpwardForward Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Better to be the rejected. You do not want to be on the receiving end of God's wrath, or regretful & grieving. I mean Never Never Never. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
truthtripper Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 > Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. ........ > 'The Battle is the Lord's!' Most of this is comforting, but I don't think God wants us to turn a blind eye and give up our responsibilities.

Except that reading "Let it go" so many times has that stupid Frozen song in my head It's my granddaughters favorite song- everything in her life seems to be 'Frozen' right now... I get a dose of 'letting it go' sometimes all day lol Link to post Share on other sites

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" - George Santayana. Completely agree according to the context in your post... thinking the author of 'Let it go' was in a direction of things that we hang on to, battles that aren't ours to fight. ...but yes I agree... thinking the Serenity Prayer is fitting in this situation... 'and the wisdom to tell the difference'. Link to post Share on other sites
Author pureinheart Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Better to be the rejected. You do not want to be on the receiving end of God's wrath, or regretful & grieving. I mean Never Never Never. Tell the truth! ...also this is an excellent way to handle rejection without tripping out. By tripping out I mean having all kinds of crazy thoughts about the other people and yourself. Man, the thought process that can take place behind rejection IMO leads to a lot of the violence we have in the world today... this would include arrogance that is a by-product of rejection (arrogance being a defense mechanism). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
candie13 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It is hard to let it go and man, really hard to take rejection, because we / I take it personally. When most of the times, it's got nothing to do with me, but with the person doing the rejection. Who most of the times are refusing themselves to let go and allowing themselves to be attached to the past. So yeah, indeed, a vicious spiral. It's not even so much as rejection, it's our own feelings of inadequacy and insufficiency... I've got an epiphany today and decided to focus much more on self love. Funny how that lens changes the perspective of most things around me 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just keep saying it's ok (to myself), and remind myself of the fact that it's a lie straight from the pit of hell. Link to post Share on other sites
HopeForTomorrow Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Good post for today. If someone wants to walk away from you there is nothing to do but let them walk. It wasn't meant to be if they can do that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 let go with love. That is key. i do not think "if its meant to be" applies... its directly saying we have zero say in how things unfold or get repaired ... because gosh, its fate! its written already. So to release with love , when its time... is the healthy route. Most adults will do their best to repair before discarding... Unless its something that cannot be tolerated..then its easy to let go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author pureinheart Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Good post for today. If someone wants to walk away from you there is nothing to do but let them walk. It wasn't meant to be if they can do that. You know when this runs through my mind, it makes me completely ok with me concerning any type of break-up or a friend throwing me under-the-bus. It takes the pressure off of me and I forgive them right away and walk away myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, you know that 'meant to be thing' kept me hanging on thinking - someday, you know? Yes, without a doubt, letting go in love is the best, it takes ALL of the pressure off and makes it easier to disconnect from the person- anger keeps one attached IMO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author pureinheart Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 If someone constantly threatens you with leaving, let them go. ...and not to let the door hit them on the way out:D Link to post Share on other sites
HopeForTomorrow Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 ...and not to let the door hit them on the way out:D It has to be taken into context though. Yes, if someone constantly threatens to leave with no reason, then let them go. Because they mean it. But if someone says it in the heat of a difficult situation or argument, do they mean it? I don't think so, and it becomes something correctable. It's hard to let someone go "with love" when you have already handed them your heart and soul and they chose to turn around and leave. But... the lines I like best are these: If someone can't love you back, and see your worth..... LET IT GO!!! Not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. Thanks for posting this pureinheart. I've read it and re-read it several times. You don't know it but this will impact my life. Link to post Share on other sites
itisdanielle Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I really needed to read this today. I seem to struggle to let things go. I'll dwell on them so much and I know it's not doing me any favours but I can't seem to help it. How can I help myself let go? Link to post Share on other sites
