There are so many ways that we can apply to improve ourselves to live a better life from day to day. One of the most important things that we must always practice every day is The Power Of Letting Go. By having The Power Of Letting Go, we can live without burden.
To be honest, being mature and wise are things that are difficult to implement in our lives. Although in terms of age we can be considered old, mature, but not all people can think or have a mature mindset.
One of them is the attitude of forgiveness, forgetting bad things or things that have hurt us. Today, I have a photo of me playing in the water in the swimming pool. There are flowers falling from the top of the tree near the swimming pool. Through this photo, I was inspired to write a philosophy about The Power Of Letting Go.
In the past, I was very difficult to forgive things that happened in my life. I had a hard time to forget people who had hurt me. I even had a hard time forgiving myself for things I failed to achieve. But then when I learned about mental health and I also studied spirituality, I came to understand the concept of The Power Of Letting Go.
Forgiving is not about giving someone who has hurt us a chance to just go away and forget what happened. But forgiveness is actually an attitude for ourselves to make ourselves relieved and give ourselves a chance to grow to be better. In my experience so far, without forgiving, whether it's forgiving others or forgiving ourselves, we will have difficulty moving forward to the next phase of life. We are like stuck in place because we are only fixated on the past.
Letting go is a great power that can take us beyond many great things. It's not about who is right and who is wrong but it's about ourselves about giving ourselves a chance that we deserve to receive a lot of goodness in this life if we don't forgive it means we only give ourselves a chance to do good revenge and think about things that are not useful for ourselves.
Our energy is only used up thinking about bad things that happened to us in the past. We can't be sincere why life gives us so many painful things. Even though we can use that energy for other things. And when we accept the bad things that happened in the past, then we take wisdom and lessons from it, then believe that we have many great things in the future that we can achieve.
We don't need to ask, what and how the punishment will be for people who do bad things to us, we should actually ask what we should do so that we can be better and we don't deserve the same people like that again so we don't repeat the same things in the future.
One of the things that makes your life feel heavy is when you still think about people who have been mean to you. You don't want to let go of anything from your life. So, when you learn to let go of all the negative things, be it people who have been mean to you or bad things that have happened to you because of your mistakes. You try to let go of it every day. Try to go to bed without attaching any negative things to your life.
Imagine, if one of your hands keeps holding an object every day until you go to bed. Isn't that very tiring? Or when your feet want to step but there is a big hand or a big force that is on your feet so that you will have difficulty walking forward. Those are the feelings of not being able to forgive that will make your life even harder.
After playing in the pool, I continued drinking my morning coffee while checking my online work. It feels so good not to have any burden to think about.
I have been in a phase where I don't think about the fate of people who have hurt me or things that I can't achieve. I have forgiven those people. I forgive myself.
I became improve into who I am now. I am really, really, grateful for everything that has happened in my life now. It has made my life feel so much more relieved.
Now I let go of those who have done me harm. I forgive. Because the good or bad of a person is directly related to God. All rewards are given to us by God.
So, how we can be fully responsible for what we do. We must remember that everything we do has a return for us. If we do good things then we will always be surrounded by good things even though we can't feel it now. On the other hand, if we do bad things there will be bad things waiting ahead of us there.
Well, don't forget to let go today. Stay happy!
