Let It Go

Anger can be used as a powerful tool. When it is justified, it can be used to move mountains, to change atrocities, to right wrongs.

But far too often, we hang on to things mentally and physically that fester. We dwell on past wrongs that will never be made right. We harbor resentment for things that hurt us long in the past. We want to get even, to seek vengeance, to right how wrong we are feeling.

We sometimes need to learn to let it go.

Let it go.

I’m sure by now you are all singing that famous song by an ice queen in your heads. But in reality, Elsa’s words are good advice. Turn away. Slam the door. Don’t hold it anymore. Don’t care what others are going to say about you when they no longer have the power they once thought they had on you.

Let it go.

It’s hard to stop harboring resentments from the past. It’s hard to forgive and to forget, especially when someone or something triggers the memories that bring up the old grievances. It’s hard to turn away, turn the other cheek, to let it go.

And it may seem as though we’re letting someone off the hook who has done us wrong, even though we are not. We don’t need to continue to let the past hurt us. We don’t need to allow people to rip off the bandages that have healed to our wounds and expose old pains again. By letting go, we establish boundaries for ourselves while giving ourselves a chance to heal. We no longer need the bandages, for while the scars will remain, they have healed. We can continue to move on with love, joy, peace and hope because we have found the magic within our stories to just let go of the old festers of past wrongs.

Let it go.

After all, the past is in the past.

Stay magical.
