I Am Learning To Let Go Of What’s Not Meant For Me

I’m letting go of control. I’m learning how I simply cannot control everything that happens to me in life.

I’m slowly learning how to let go of what isn’t meant for me. I’m letting people exit my life when they are meant to leave, and I am no longer chasing after them.  I’m seeing how when one door shuts, another one opens. I’m no longer knocking on closed doors with nothing left behind them.

I’m learning that sometimes it’s OK to welcome endings. I’m letting go of anyone and anything that isn’t meant to remain a part of my life. I’m letting go of the old in order to make room for the new.

I’m learning how to trust myself. And when something doesn’t feel right. then it probably isn’t. I’m learning how to trust my instincts because it sees things that I cannot quite yet. I’m letting my instinct and intuition lead me in the right direction.

I’m learning to let go of old relationships that I have grown out of. I’m letting go of people who no longer contribute to my well being. I’m learning that the longer I keep holding onto the wrong people, the longer it’ll take for me to hold onto the right ones. I’m learning how to fully nurture my relationships with all the positive, vibrant souls in my life. The ones that inspire and push me to be the best version of myself I can possibly be.

I’m slowly learning how to let go of everything and anything that is not meant to stay apart of my life.

I’m letting go of negativity and replacing it with mindfulness. I am using any negative thoughts as my motivation to always spread positivity wherever I may go in life.

I’m letting go of spitefulness and replacing it with forgiveness. I’m no longer holding grudges and clinging onto bitter feelings that have poisoned my thoughts for so long.

I’m taking a step back from the things that no longer serve a purpose in my life. I’m removing myself from any toxic, unhealthy situations that I no longer need to play a part in. I’m letting myself let go of the hurt and pain I’ve carried for all these years. And I’m slowly allowing myself to heal, no matter how long that it will take.

I’m learning to do whatever the hell makes me happy. And to stop living my life a certain way in order to please others. I’m only doing things that bring me the most happiness in life and no longer living in order to satisfy anybody else.

I’m letting go of control. I’m learning how I simply cannot control everything that happens to me in life. I’m letting the universe work its magic on me. I’m letting things happen on their own and I’m no longer forcing things to stay together when they’re destined to fall apart.

I’m letting go of self-doubt. And I’m replacing it with self-growth. I’m basking in my own positive light. And surrounding myself with anything that pushes me to become a better person.

I’m letting go of hatred. And criticism. And anyone who tells me I’m not good enough for something. I’m learning that the only critic I should be listening to is myself. And I will no longer allow the opinions of others pollute my mind. I’m letting go of the person I thought I would be yesterday be and starting to celebrate who I am today. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
