If you want to fly Give up everything that weighs you down. – Buddha
We often step into new ventures, new lives or perhaps new careers carrying the weight of the past with us. Carrying negative memories and hurts from the past into the future is like allowing the ghosts from the past to destroy the beauty and the promise of the future.
Openness is the only way to learn, change and improve. That doesn’t means that our experiences from the past are worthless, We need to be clear about what we carry into the future. It is important to carry what we learn from the past into the future, only the past learning that aids growth, not the negative emotions that may accompany those life lessons.
Negative thoughts and emotions weigh us down and are better left behind. Carrying them around doesn’t let us soar to the heights we want to reach. They strip us of our freedom and trap us in negativity.
Leave the baggage behind – Fly high!!

Freedom without form is not freedom at all. It is like trying to drink water without the glass.
However to truly fly unnecessary weight can prevent us from flight.
You have a way with words. Let go. Be open to the world full of opportunities.
Thank you MohanBabu, Yeah there are more opportunities than we can see, we often hang on to the past with blinkers on our eyes.
it can be hard to let go, we see slights and bruises in the smallest things. When we lock the world out we run the risk of not being able to forgive.
tough choice to make, but important to let go and fly!
That’s right Doc. Tough but not impossible. A mother doesn’t bring life into the world without pain, a child cries with the pain of separation as soon as it is born. Beginnings are tough but we cannot hang on to the past. Getting out of our comfort zone is often like the separation anxiety faced by a child on the first day at school.
my rule is that I give everyone one free shot to be nasty. On the second shot I prefer that they apologize but I will forgive!
That has worked for me for many years!
My polich is to keep those at bay who make my life unhappy.
In a way it is letting go, isn’t it?
May be you are right there.
Fantastic pictures, dear Dawn
Thank you dear Lado, for your always positive and encouraging comments.
With great pleasure, my dear friend
Sometimes you have to carry sorrow to remind yourself not to put yourself in that situation again.
Gramps we never leaves the lesson behind , just the emotions. The lesson keep us from falling into the same trap.
I am finding a new trend like right? and agreed? It’s interesting to see. Sometimes is often my best answer because I rarely know all the details.
Hmm.. sometimes it is hard to ask the question directly so we tend to use right or agreed. It still conveys the same message without being too direct I think.
Sometimes is a great answer too, I do include it in my questions often.
