Too often we ask God to throw off our chains while he looks back with a smiling chuckle of love telling us to just let go so we don't fly away with them when he does.

Just because someone has been in your life for many years, doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a point at which you finally decide to let go.

Why let go of yesterday? Because yesterday has already let go of you.

Because maybe, in a way, we didn't leave it behind nearly as much as we might once have thought. Because somewhere underneath, a part of us stayed like that: fearful of the world around us, and no matter how much we despised ourselves for it--unable quite to let each other go.

Change what you can change, let go of the rest.

Clear out the past, layout the present and prepare for a much better and brighter future.
