In life sometimes you just have to look at whatever situation arises and just say, well, forget it. Sometimes there really isn’t anything you can do. So you have to cut your losses. Does it mean you give up? I don’t think so. Just means you’re ready to move on.

True, one should stay proactive when it comes to life situations, but another thing we need to realize is that things can’t be forced. If things happen for a reason, why do people think that they can control certain situations or problems? If things happen for a reason, there has to be an external force making it happen, no?

Sometimes by holding on or holding back we really are doing ourselves a disservice. How can we accept what is waiting for us if we are stuck or clinging to something that isn’t really helping us. So take the step and adapt to the unknown, because you won’t know what’s good is waiting for you if you don’t sever those ties clean.

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.” — Herman Hesse
