No single person, no single event, no single experience has the right to sit inside your head and continue to disturb the peace of your mind. Nothing…Nobody… should ever be given such exalted status as to have power over the peace of your mind. For the sake of your peace, let go of anything, let go of anybody, who continues to rattle you from within. Your mind and heart should be the seat of your peace and not the seat of someone or something that keeps disturbing you. Nothing at the cost of your peace. Everything for the sake of your peace. Learn to let go, not in the physical sense but in the emotional sense. Free yourself of any disturbing elements. Let go whatever. Let go whoever. Put your peace above everything.
Your within can either be a basket of fragrant flowers or a vessel of acid. When you let go of the source of your hurt, you experience an inner flowering. Else, you keep destroying yourself in the same way that acid destroys the vessel that contains it.
People hurt you out of their ignorance and their immaturity. And, you allow yourself to be hurt out of your ignorance and out of your immaturity. The fact of the matter is that between the hater and the hated, it is always the hater who gets hurt more. While your hatred may do nothing to the other, it certainly gives you sleepless nights, causes ulcers and acidity in you, and above all, does not allow you to be at peace. So, what do you get out of living with hurt? Nobody gains and for sure, you definitely lose. Why would you live with something as meaningless as hurt?
In physical sense, the people or events that hurt you happen once. But you rewind and replay the hurt a zillion times. The more you process it, the deeper it hurts. You have given a source of disturbance a higher presence within you than your own peace.
If at all anybody is wrong, let them continue to live outside of you. Don’t give them a presence within you. Let your mind and heart house only those who are a source of your peace. The rest, let them go…
In letting go of your hurt, you will let in peace. A peaceful you is a beautiful you. The good news is, you can be beautiful. The very good news is that it is in your very hands. See…. Even the thought of ‘let go’ is getting you to smile…
