“Even though you want

to move forward in your life,

you may have one foot

on the brakes.

In order to be free,

we must learn

how to let go.

Release the hurt.

Release the fear.

Refuse to entertain

your old pain.

The energy it takes

to hang onto the past

is holding you back

from a new life.

What is it you would

let go of today?”

– Mary Manin Morrissey
