Not Scared of Letting Go

How many of us do really want to let go of something? Let's say you want to let go of someone you love after breaking up with him, or maybe you want to let go of something in the past because it doesn't work anymore, but it keeps holding you back because you've been comfortable with it? How many of us do find it hard to let go? I believe every single one of us experiences this in life. It's really funny, isn't it? We really want to let go, but we can't.

I wrote a post about letting go before (if you want to read it yet, click here). Now I am writing the second post about letting go with the new title, "Not scared of letting go." The keyword here is 'not scared'. Because when you ask yourself whether you can move on or not, the question is actually not “Can you let it go?” The real question is “Are you brave enough to let it go?

letting go
"to let your frustrations, anger, etc. go and not let it stress you out like it has been doing. Letting go means you don't have to stress over whatever you're letting go anymore" (Urban Dictionary)

Everyone can let go. They are just not willing to let go. If you look further, it's not that people are not willing to let go. They are just scared of letting go because they are not sure things can get better if they do. It's such an irony. People feel bad as they feel trapped of something they don't let go, but they're still not brave enough to let go because they're afraid worse things can happen if they let go. They're afraid the consequences of letting go will be more painful than the pain they feel today.

The question is actually not “Can you let it go?” The real question is “Are you brave enough to let it go?

To let go, you need courage and faith. You have to open up your mind to realize that you're not meant to get stuck in unchanging situation that makes you feel lost. Letting go doesn't mean you're a loser because you give up so easily. Letting go means you're smart enough to know something is not relevant anymore so you need to move forward and keep going on.

When you let go, what you're really doing is making room for something new. It is not the ending. It's the beginning. You may think something is too great to let go, but most of the time, greater things can only happen after you let go. So don't be scared to let it go, because it's the first step of new better things in your life.

Love Languages

Valentine's day is coming soon, and it's the day of love. I think it's a great idea to share something related to love: Love Languages . Have you heard about it before? It's not my idea. It's Gary Chapman's, but I'm excited to share it with you! I've shared it with people around me all this time, making sure they know about this amazing idea. And the exciting thing about love languages is, it's applicable not only for your life partner, but also for everyone around you, including your parents, friends, coullages, and every single one you know. I once wrote, " Life is always about love, but love is not about him or her all the time. " So don't worry, whatever your status is right now, it can be fun for you too! Let's explore about love! Okay. What's love languages? Basically there are five love languages, and one person has one dominant love language. The fun is in finding out the dominant love language in people you care ab

Change the Perspective

One of people who inspire me the most is Nick Vujicic . I believe many of you know about this man. If you don't, well, he's a man with no arms and no legs. Although he has this disability, he still lives his life to the fullest. He swims. He surfs. He married. He does whatever he wants. Even he inspires many people around the world with great stories about his amazing life. Isn't he really a huge inspiration? I'm sure you know what I'm gonna write here. Many things we can learn from him, like being thankful, enjoying life, creating your happiness, or living the life you want no matter what the circumstance is. But I want to talk about his great life from a little bit different thing. He inspired me in one thing when I read his book. If there's one thing I can learn from him, it's that you can't always change your problems, but you can always change the way you see it . You can't always change your problems, but you can always chang

You are what you eat

You know they say, you are what you eat . I totally agree with this saying. The phrase finder says its meaning is "To be fit and healthy, you need to eat good food ". But I guess it's more powerful than that. I personally assume that the "food" here is more about things we put into ourselves, such as what we see, what we think, or what we feel . Just everything we put into ourselves . So, if this world was a restaurant, everything you can see, think, and feel in this world would be the foods. And the main role here is you! Because you would be the customer in the restaurant who choose the foods you want to eat. Whatever you eat, it will always affect your body (your life). That's why it's really important to choose "what you eat", because it's what really shapes you in the end. If you want your life to be better, you should manage what you eat. You can't just consume whatever you see, because not everything you see is
