Let Go Of &#8220;What Was&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s time to let go of the past (just leave it behind). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s face it, you can\u2019t change the past. In fact, the past doesn\u2019t even exist anymore. The only place it exists is in your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let it go. Learn the lessons, look for the silver-linings, and be grateful for what \u201cis\u201d today and what will be tomorrow\u2026 oooooohhhhh great things are waiting for you (if you are willing to \u201creceive\u201d them).

If so, it\u2019s time to forgive, and again, let go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The only person you hurt when you don\u2019t forgive, is yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don\u2019t let anyone rent space in your head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Who knows why people do what they do or say what they say (sometimes they don\u2019t even know themselves). Stop trying to analyze it and make it mean something it doesn\u2019t. That\u2019s just wasted energy. Just forgive and move on. Be the bigger person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes, we need to forgive ourselves for something we\u2019ve done or said; if that\u2019s the case, forgive yourself and move on. No one\u2019s perfect. We all make mistakes and have done and said things we are not proud of \u2013 let it go (as per #2 above) and forgive yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today is a new day.
