Find The Balance Between Letting Go Vs Holding On!

Sometimes in life some battles are not worth fighting for no matter how hard you try, even though for the most part you feel you owe it to yourself to see it through right to the end despite constantly losing out, such moments are an indication and a sure sign to turn the page and bow out gracefully before you get pushed out.

You might be in a season right now, that when you look at those around you, they seem to be living a life that you feel is yours to live. So you keep trying and hoping to get the same luck because if others can do it so can you, right? But instead of you succeeding you fail again. This leaves you heartbroken and quite frankly lost, and this is a genuinely feeling and honestly it is important to feel the disappointment and the sadness that comes with failure however if the repetition of you trying and always failing is constant then consider this to be a confirmation that life requires you to let go or perhaps pivot in a slightly different direction.

Turning the page and letting things go will be successfully achieved when you deal with your internal struggle and coming to an understanding that this wasn't your ordained path. You can find yourself moving on to the right path but you might fail to enjoy and trust the process as well as miss out on the lessons from your experience because you're still stuck on what didn't work. I encourage you to address and decipher what didn't work, as well as identify where the problem was, this is in order to pave way for the new path, because if you don't you’ll keep finding yourself in a repetitive cycle which is an exhaustible experience not only for you but for also those who are closest to you, who are at times affected by your decisions.

My overall point to make is for you to get to the point to accept that not all journeys you undertake, you’ll oversee right through to the end. Do not consider yourself a failure if you give up willingly or if you find yourself pushed out unwillingly because in life everyone fails at some point. The most important thing is to recognise which battles to let go and which ones to keep fighting and holding on to. This way it will be clear when you turn the page you will turn it at the appointed time.

“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”

―Henry Havelock Ellis
