” This was when I learned that you have to give up your life as you know it to get a new one: that sometimes you need to let go of everything you’re clinging to and start over, whether because you’ve outgrown it or because it’s not working anymore, or because it was wrong for you in the first place.” Kelly Cutrone

Barb's Comment:
Take a few minutes and look at yourself. What are you trying to hold onto that you need to let go of? Still trying to be a spontaneous young adult while parenting toddlers (or teenagers)? Still trying to climb a corporate ladder that doesn’t exist anymore? Still trying to make a relationship work without any investment from the other party? Time to stop it and move on? Maybe you will need to grieve a bit, that’s okay. Just don’t keep wearing yourself out trying to stay the way you were or preserve what used to be. You can’t. Let go and find the gifts that are hiding for you in your new future.
