Sometimes the hardest thing in
life is letting go of what’s holding you back. It could be a painful situation
you have to overcome, the loss of someone you love, the consequences of a poor
choice, a deflating job, or even just a negative mindset you can’t shake. We
can get stuck in a holding pattern where we focus on the things that we
struggle with, and wind up in a cycle of stress, frustration, and sadness.
But there’s good news: Once you
let go of whatever hurt, anger, or regret you’re holding onto, you’re able to
move forward freely. You have the ability to start out on a new path,
unencumbered by the weight of what you’ve left behind. If you’re standing on
the precipice of that new start, these 11 quotes will inspire you to let go,
and move forward.
Forgiveness is a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on. – Steve
Maraboli
You only struggle because
you're ready to grow but aren't willing to let go. – Drew
Gerald
Forgiveness is just another
name for freedom.
– Byron Katie
Every time you are tempted to
react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a
pioneer of the future. The past is closed and limited; the future is open and
free. – Deepak
Chopra
The truth is, unless you let
go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you
realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.
– Steve Maraboli
To perceive the world
differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip
away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.
– Gerald
G. Jampolsky
You can’t go back and make a
new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending. – James R. Sherman

that is not what ships are built for. – John A. Shedd
Take the first step in faith.
You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
You have two choices: to
control your mind or to let your mind control you. – Paulo Coelho
What we find in life is based
on where we put our attention. When we focus on the small worlds our thoughts
create, we miss out on the beauty and possibilities we are meant to enjoy. – Guy
Finley
