Letting Go Quotes
Letting go of anything, whether a person, thing or even the past, is very difficult. Sometimes sharing the pain is also not possible. At such times you can console yourself with a few words that comfort the heart and mind. Here are a few quotes and sayings that will help.

Letting go of certain relationships can be a very emotionally draining decision. However, what is even more difficult, is to actually decide to let go. You try, and you try some more, to hold on, to keep with you what cannot be. Some people let go of the relationship but aren't able to move on. They find it impossible to detach from what was, and what can never be. When two people separate on mutual consent, this affair is a little less straining. However, when you have to let go when you don't want to, life seems suddenly unfair. All you need in actuality, it strength to move forward, and that, you might get through these quotes. Words have a powerful impact; one that motivates. These quotes will definitely motivate you to be strong, take control and stay happy, because you deserve to be.
