Every so often I see a series of quotes on a topic that just seem to make sense when put together, Such was the case this morning in an email that contained a series of quotes by separate people on the topic of letting go of things.
All I had to do was to arrange them in the proper order and they made perfect sense.
You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you. – Paulo Coelho
“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” – Steve Maraboli
You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending. – James R. Sherman
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. The past is closed and limited; the future is open and free. – Deepak Chopra
Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness is just another name for freedom. – Byron Katie
