Daily Encouragement for 8-5-24

The quote by Daphne Rose Kingma, “Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future,” reflects the transformative power of release. Clinging to the past can hinder personal growth and create a false sense of security rooted in familiarity. The quote suggests that we limit our potential for new experiences and opportunities by fixating on what has already occurred. On the other hand, letting go embodies faith in the future and its possibilities, encouraging us to trust in the unknown and be open to new opportunities. It fosters resilience and opens oneself to new paths, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and enriched life. It takes immense courage and strength to break old habits, forgive things that happened in the past, and move forward. You have been working on these skills for months. Each stressful event is a new opportunity to move through the event in a healthy way that does not trap you into repeating old habits. Ask yourself how your best self would handle the event, take the necessary time, and use the tools you have learned to navigate this season. Remember, your happiness is your responsibility.
