Let go of the past from "summary" of Stop Doing That Sh*t by Gary John Bishop
The past is like your shadow, always there but never truly present. You drag it along with you, allowing it to cast a pall over your present moments. You hold on to it like a security blanket, finding comfort in the familiarity of what has already been. But what you fail to realize is that by clinging to the past, you are denying yourself the opportunity to truly embrace the beauty of now. Letting go of the past is not about forgetting or erasing what has happened. It's about releasing the grip that it has on you, freeing yourself from the chains that bind you to moments long gone. It's about acknowledging the past for what it was - a series of events that have shaped you, but do not define you. When you let go of the past, you create space for new experiences to come in. You open yourself up to the infinite possibilities that exist in the present moment. You allow yourself to fully engage with life, unencumbered by the weight of what was. It's not an easy process, this letting go of the past. It requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to confront the parts of yourself that you may not be proud of. But the freedom that comes from releasing yourself from the shackles of the past is worth every ounce of effort. So take a deep breath, muster up your strength, and let go. Let go of the regrets, the what-ifs, the could-have-beens. Let go of the stories you tell yourself about who you are based on what has already happened. Let go, and watch as the beauty of the present moment unfolds before you.
