Knowing When To Let Go

Fear and worry are thief's, both steal peace from us, and most of the fear or worry we hold on to are not worth holding within us, same goes for resentment and anger.

Its not easy to know when to let go of one of these emotions because we so often see them as armour that may protect us in some way, only thing is, they don't protect us in reality.

I was reading this quote again this afternoon and reminded that its far better to live openly, and with peace than to live in fear, worry or in some world of insecurity...

“If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.” ~Dalai Lama~

The greatest lesson we can ever learn I think, is to be able to let go of the things we cannot change and to simply change the things we can to make life better.
