The Power of Letting It Go...
Life is simple if we want it to be, and life gets more complicated if we carry baggages. So it's
essential that we shed away our baggages, these baggages are not that someone has
impounded on us, but it's we who choose to carry it.

Baggages are what?
It's nothing but the memories that we store in our mind, be it good or bad, but in the end, it all
are memories and experiences. Every moment in which we live and which passes by becomes
the memory, and these memories we keep on ruminate when we are idle, and this is why we
experience the vicissitudes in our lives.
No one can hurt us; it's only we who hurt ourselves. People are different, so as their
perceptions, we tend to judge everyone by their acts and behaviors, but we never judge
ourselves. In our minds, we are always right, and even if we realize that we are wrong still, we
don't accept it out of our ego, and that's the reason behind all the vicissitudes that we
experience.
But if we explore our powers of letting it go, then everything becomes easy and
straightforward.
What is The Power Of Letting It Go?
Letting it go does not mean that we forget our past experiences and forget the people who
once were there with us. But Letting it Go means you try to practice solace with your mind and
heart by anyway, be it forgiving them or accepting the situation or fact. The one mistake we all
do is that we try to prove those people who once there with us, we try to demean them by
speaking ill about them, we try to harm them in some or the other way, but by doing that we
are hurting ourselves thinking those experiences again and again. In a way, we resist our
progress.

The Power of Letting It Go means to forgive them and make peace with ourselves, and try to
think or work on our progress and activities not just to prove anyone else but to prove
ourselves. People will come and go, some will make us happy, and some will make us cry.
Some will come to help us progress, and some will try to pull us down, and that's a human
tendency, and you cannot stop them. The only thing you can do is to focus on your goals and
the path on which you are walking. I am not saying that those who do wrong to you and pull
you down, you forgive them! I don't believe in Gandhian Philosophy; If necessary show them
your strength too but don't hold on it and keep on thinking about it, but instead show them once
and move one to your work and keep walking, and remember only weak tries to bully others,
whereas the strongest just walk. It's not that they are scared, but they just don't care.
How to practice this and live a robust life?
Identify your baggages: It's essential to identify your baggages and the reasons that are holding you back. Once you find the root cause
and the reason, try to shed those heavyweights and make peace with yourself.
Identify the people who want to pull you down: You become that which surrounds you. If you have positive and motivated people
surrounded you, you become one like them, whereas you become demotivated and negative if you have opposite kinds surrounded you.
Try to part away from those negative people who are wasting your time and feeding negativity in your mind.
Never try to show others: Who are you? And what you have? It's for you to judge to progress. But never try to show others what you do
and what you have, because your work and achievements will teach them and make them dwarf. So instead of focusing on to show off,
just work and walk on your path.
Learn from the past: Always keep a learning attitude because the entire universe is progressing and changing with every moment that
passes by, so if you think you know everything, that means you are restraining yourself for the learnings that the changing universe has
to offer. So to progress and live a robust life, always keep a learning attitude, and the best learning institute is your past and your
experiences.
Forgive & Forget: As I already have mentioned that 'weak tries to bully, but strongest just walk.' Forgive who has harmed you and
Forget what they did to you, but do not forget the teachings that they taught you. Take revenge when the time is right, and your strength
is at the peak because nature gives us all the opportunities for everything that we wish for. Do whatever you feel is right in a particular
situation, but try not to hold back once your vengeance is done.
Practice Gratitude: Once you get gratification from your path on which you are walking; say thanks to the people who have helped you
and also say thanks to those who tried to pull you down, because people who helped you will feel respected whereas those who wanted
to pull you down will feel dwarf. And in this way, you will kill two birds with one stone, and you will feel the solace & peace but most
importantly, SAY THANKS TO GOD AND YOUR PARENTS because of them we exist and don't forget that.
