RE: How to Get Ready to Love
A lot of times people don't hurt us on purpose, but being collateral damage is often a side effect of opening ourselves up to loving others. If we're secure in our self-love then being collateral damage won't affect us as much.
We do have to let go of things that hurt us because I'm of the opinion that things can only hurt us when you give them permission to do so. Therefore, letting go of it is simply taking back our power. It's not easy to let go of what hurt you, but with practice we get better at it.
Really, the hard thing about letting go is the memories you are holding to. But maybe soon, things would be better for us. Thank you for the advice
I think there is no need to completely ditch memoires. I doubt anyone could ever do that. Memories can be a good thing if you choose to remember the parts of them that make you feel joyful and appreciative while not dwelling on the bad aspects. No memory can be all bad, right? For example, even if it's a mostly terrible memory, you could choose to focus on what you learned from the experience. Focusing on what you've learned and how you've grown will stop you from feeling crummy and even help you remember the person or situation in a new, better light.
Or so I'm told. ;)
Wow, thank you for the thought. I'll agree to keep the good memories our inspiration in doing good . It'll be great going back to the times that made us laugh, crazy and worth the time.
