Walk Away | Note 388

The faster you can let go, the quicker you can free yourself.

 
Sometimes you have to walk away, move on, let go, and let things be. Not doing so when the situation calls for it only stifles your growth. The faster you can let go, the quicker you can free yourself. Holding on to things that do not bring you joy will not fix anything and will often lead you down the path of heartache and disappointment.

 
I can’t remember who said the quote I’m about to read, but I believe I heard it from Marcellus Wiley. He is a former NFL player and co-host of the Fox Sports 1 show Speak for Yourself. Wiley, a Columbia University graduate, often shares some profound words that force you to think. 

 
“Walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. There is no need to explain or make sense of it. It’s your life. Do what makes you happy.”

 
I’m going to leave you with one last quote today. Jack Kornfield said, “To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.”
