“Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life.” -Unknown
When you’ve loved every moment of an experience, it can feel like a death to watch it fade into yesterday.
When a relationship ends, it might feel like you’ll never love or smile again. When a job ends, you might think you’ll never feel fulfilled in your work again.
You will. Just like every experience is impermanent, every feeling eventually fades and morphs into something else. Happiness becomes sadness becomes happiness again.
If you’re willing to let go of yesterday and stay open to possibilities today, you just may be surprised by how much you gain after a loss.
What new world might you be creating today?
