Beatles make me sound wise !!!



And there will be an answer..... "LET IT BE" !!!
These are more than just mere lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Let it be" by The Beatles, it's a fact too hard to adopt or imply, but it's one which eventually turns out to be the right thing to do at most of the situations.


Letting go is probably one the hardest possible things to do. Whether it's a thought,a dream, a relationship, holding on to anything once it's run it's course of time can ONLY be painful. Yet being how we are, we find clinging on to something familiar tighter than before , simpler than letting go and finding something new, something out of our usual comfort zone. And the harder you clutch on to something , the more pain you build up in the process. 
Letting go is inevitable.It HAS to occur at some point in every situation, profession, relation and pretty much in life as a whole ! No matter how sweet the memories, nothing including life lasts forever ! 


Probably the hardest thing to let go are relationships or any emotional bond for that. We hold on to them so tightly for so long that in the end all you feel instead of love you feel hurt that comes from holding on too tight. Why can't we just bring ourselves to the point where we admit to ourselves ,let alone others, that all good things DO end, just like the bad ones?? Why do we forget that despite the end being near,sometimes we can still continue to take away cherished memories ONLY if we let go ? Why do we find battled endings better than peaceful partings?? Sometimes two people fight for so long to preserve something ,the end of which they deep down know has been overdue, that their fight becomes a lost cause ! Sometimes you fight to not let "things" fall apart despite knowing that keeping them together is just not a long-term solution . Sometimes,somethings have to fall apart ,for new things ,better things to happen and if you let go when you should, NOTHING can take away the value of what you had from you ! In fact, you develop a deeper appreciation of what belonged to you after that!


Endings are of two types: One where you KNOW things end, and One where they ACTUALLY do. The gap between the two ,is the time you take to let go and once you do, you come out a different person. Every idea , every dream, every relationship, that you choose to let go, or that chooses to let go of you, changes you. The people you choose to let go of, leave making you someone new , adding something new to you or taking away something unnecessary in you with them.This change is important , because it's this change that takes you further along life. You soon realize no matter what you give up or what is taken away from you, you will always have something new coming your way. If not now then later, but NOTHING stops life, it doesn't stop even at points where you think it will!


Sometimes you end up taking paths which later turn out to be the best routes for you. The best things in life come when you least expect them, when you take a path not knowing where you're headed, you eventually end up with what you were looking for subconciously. It don't know how it happens,but it just does.....
No matter how much you plan , the best things happen when you let go......And this has happened more than once to me :) Letting go as hard as it is, when it happens, it eventually brings you the best, something you never believed could happen to you does ! And when it does, you realize there is NOTHING in life you can cling on to forever without it slipping away ! So let nature decide the time of everything and just live for the moment, so you won't have to hang on to anything longer than you should when the time comes to let go :)

The sunset is probably nature's way of telling us to not be so afraid to let go .Without the sunset, the possibility of a sunrise would never occur :)
