Letting Go of the Past

It is time to move on,

discard the chrysalis,

that necessary spinning

which bound me

to the past.

Now I will be,

not become.

Emerge whole

Soar!

------------------------------------

It is impossible to achieve our full potential, unless we are able to understand and are willing to let go of our past.

The present is really all we have and when we maximize the present, we are better able to ensure for ourselves a brighter future.

Letting go of the past seems to be a simple concept, but in reality it is quite difficult, because it means releasing past pain and even letting go of our past achievements when they are no longer useful. It means looking realistically to the present without undue regret for what is gone and no longer possible for us, so that we may move forward and fully realize our available capabilities.
