Talk Tuesday!

The Talk Tuesday’s for the month of January will all be based on quotes from a book I am currently reading. The book is “Walking the Heart Path” by Sharon E. Reed. Today’s Talk Tuesday will be centered around the quote “Letting go is not the same as giving up” I feel like this is an easy one, but difficult at the same time. I think it’s more easier to see that you are letting go of things that are toxic for you rather than giving up on them. For example; if you are in an unhealthy relationship it’s OK to let that relationship go. You’re not giving up on or failing in a situation that is causing you harm by walking away. You are choosing to see that this situation is not for you and therefore it is time to end it and let it go. However, what about those situations that are not so crystal clear? Like your goals and dreams. If a goal or dream that you have been pursuing just isn’t coming to realization and you decide to end your pursuit in it, is that letting go or giving up? For me; I think the deciding factor would be the WHY. If you are ending it because you feel like it’s too hard, too much work, too much everything then I think that would fall under the giving up category. But if you have been pursuing it, and you have given all that you can give and it’s just not producing the results you have hoped for then I think it is OK to realize that you can do no more with it and so therefore you must let it go. Let’s Talk. What do you think about this quote and how do you or can you apply it to your life? From Jaime With Love
