Let Go And Move On

Ettie RutherfordCan you remember what you were so upset about one year ago? I can’t. Yet, it is unbelievable how much time is sometimes spent being upset about situations that are beyond our control.

In Kristine Carlson’s book, “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff”, — that she co-authored with her late husband, Dr. Richard Carlson — she makes the point that too many of us spend time worrying about the past rather than on what is now, therefore neglecting to be grateful for present blessings.

Certainly, there are times when we wish that circumstances could have been more fulfilling, but if there is no possibility for change then LET IT GO, and:

  1. Use lessons learned from upsetting situations to guide your future.
  2. Do not try fighting fire with fire.
  3. Stop saying: shoulda, coulda, woulda.
  4. Remember: Anything that did not affect your breathing was not a catastrophe.
  5. Avoid people, organizations, or habits that do not appreciate you.
  6. Learn to forgive.
  7. Move on with a smile. That confuses the ones who caused your dilemma.
