Let Go and Be Free
You are starting your new life together. If you are carrying extra baggage around,
now is the time to let it go.
The world is full of people who could be living a happy life but they aren’t.
Instead of living a happy life full of freedom and joy, they are carrying around big
old bags of garbage. Rather than looking into the future, they keep looking
through the trash they are carrying around.
If you are carrying around resentments or blame someone (perhaps a parent)
for your hurts and problems, then you are one of these people who are carrying
around extra baggage.
Resenting a person or blaming a person ties your life to that person in such a
way that you cannot really move forward with your life. They may be out there
living their life completely unaware of how you feel about them. Meanwhile, you
are trapped by your own thoughts.
By blaming or resenting that person, you remain their victim. Only you can
release them. Only you can let them go. Only you can forgive them.
When I say “forgive them,” I do not mean that you deny that they did anything
wrong. I simply mean that you let go of your right to be angry at them. You stop
