They say, " If you hold on to something tight, it will just slip away from the crevices of your own clutching fingers. If you hold it too light, it just flies away......So hold, but with care."

Then why do they say, "If someone or something belongs to you, it will come back to you, no matter what. Might be in some different form or circumstance." It gives a lot of false hopes, as it makes us believe that things as they were, were better. If it was so, then the question of letting go would have never arisen in the first place.

When we let go, it should be as whole hearted and absolute as we hold on to. Because expectations hurt. Because it wouldn't be called a "letting go" otherwise.

We renounce not just to release the others. But we do so for ourselves much more. To fly light basically. Like a bird. Without any weight.......of grudges, pains, fears, insecurities, miseries, doubts.With peace and serenity,calm and composure, just looking ahead towards our goals, full of hope for a meaningful future. No matter how the "today" is. And not being disrupted by trivialities which tend to make us meaner. And broaden our horizons, by looking at the numerous gifts that life has to offer us. And maintaing our self respect and dignity, by being detached and not crying over what's gone.

You can hold on only upto a certain point. Nourish your possession or else its better for both to just "let go".

Its not always about breaking the ties. It is at times about preserving what you have or had. As you wont ever remember the true beauty of it, if you part from it with hard feelings.

So, if you really have to let go, do it before its too late. ( But if you have a chance to save it by holding on carefully, try so too, before its too late.)
