Here's wishing to all my friends and those readers of my blog, a very Happy New Year.
May the new year bring joy, wisdom and happiness to us all. May it be a year of dreams fulfilled and goals achieved.

Ushering in the new yr I had some matters of the heart issues to settle. Some call it closure, some may call it 'letting go and moving on'. Anyway, had that settled come the new year and I'm determined to do either of it. Am gonna touch a bit on this tonight before i zonk to bed.

So i was reading some sites about how to let go. I mean how technical can i be right but i guess these stuff helps coupled with a few friends' past experiences with it.

So this was what i can remember off hand:

Letting go means to know that there is nothing you can do to help the situation. That your best is really enough (some may argue, your best isn’t enough). It means to not take centre stage in that person’s life or to let that person take centre stage in your life. It means to know that the person has to grow as a person but it is not with you. It means to allow yourself the chance to grow and experience other aspects of life with other people. It means giving yourself the chance to love yourself once more and not to be tied down to the grief and anger of the heartbreak. It means to smile again and live life. (the last few sentences is by me..heh..feeling inspired)

Anyway, this isn’t restricted to romantic relationships but can be applied to a parent-child relationship where the parents are holding on to their baby girl and boys, thinking that they can forever hold on to their babies though they’re all grown up.

I personally feel that in any relationship, there has to be a degree of ‘letting go’. Be it parents, lovers, friends or siblings. It’s when you feel that you have no control over the outcome of the situation and that you trust that things will turn out for the better. It’s this liberation that you feel inside that the other party will do what’s best. If on the contrary you refuse to ‘let go’, would mean an anxious and worried you. An angry and unhappy you that hasn’t let go of the past and forever feels that things could’ve been different. You’d be thinking ‘if only you/I didn’t…’ By letting go, you’re realizing that holding on will only bring you pain and you’re denying yourself of the possibility of happiness.

2006 was a year of many happenings and great emotional journey. But I’ve learnt a lot about myself and what’s important in life. Once again, I wish 2007 a great year for all of us!
