Let go. I am writing about a word that would create lot of questions in people's mind. What does let go mean? Let go of what? Does it mean compromise or being weak? Lot of questions sprang up in my mind too when i thought of writing on this topic.


I have a positive perception about letting go. Let go is a mighty word for me. When i think of what we can let go...list goes on….. Let go of fear, let go of anger, let go of worries, let go of love, let go of the past, let go of expectations. I have come across a lot of people who have put across the definition of let go as to give up or to surrender. But to me, it is to relinquish something not worth holding on to. It is to release yourself from a duty or task to make anything and everything perfect in your life. It is to accept changes that come your way. It is to understand that when we let go of something, it would not be the end of life but rather a new chapter in your life. It is to relieve thoughts that would hurt you. Letting go would be to liberate yourself or others from uncontrollable situation. It is to accept others as they are. Finally it is to face life's realities with an open-mindedness.
