Stop Letting Others Define You
People judge! They will always try to define you and put you in a box basis their own assessment and perception of you (doesn’t matter what authenticity the perception holds!) You may be defined basis your race, gender, weight, the way you dress, your social status, your sexuality, your friends (Heck! Even on basis of what you eat!) It is hard to live your best lives, when “best” is defined by someone else! Constant nay-sayers, consistent cynics, ceaseless criticism – they have many names and wear a many masks!

3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag (Forgiveness)
Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day!
I have been named again for the 3 Days, 3 Quotes Tag! Yay! *happy dance* Thank you Kerrie from Sunshine – Courage In Living for tagging me. It’s indeed a pleasure!
FYI – Well this time too this tag comes with a twist folks – I am posting all the three quotes in one post for the three days. Yet again, I am really sorry about being such a rebel lately, life’s been a little caught up with a little this here and a little that there! (Ah, life!)
On a brighter side, the theme for today’s post is “FORGIVENESS” – something that we constantly seek but forget to extend! Here’s something more about it –
How To Let Go
Past – bygone, prior, elapsed! So, why dwell on something that is no more? Are you hanging onto the past and finding it hard to let go?
“Blame doesn’t empower you. It keeps you stuck in a place you don’t want to be because you don’t want to make the temporary, but painful decision, to be responsible for the outcome of your own life’s happiness.” – Shannon L. Alder
Undoubtedly, letting go can be difficult! Specially, when it comes to people, expectations, love, desires, unhealthy relationships, faith, beliefs, thoughts – that you have invested your time, efforts and life into! It’s a continued list, which is stuck in your head like a broken record. It is painful and for sure taxing. The reason I know this and understand the progression, is because I held onto the past for a long time. No matter how hard I tried, letting go was the hardest thing for me to do. It didn’t matter if it was people, expectations, beliefs or disappointments, the past always seemed to have power over me. The more I tried, the more I relieved the past (and the pain!)
