"In the end only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you"
Buddha

[ItisMoody]

If anyone doesn't appreciate you and make you feel irreplaceable in their life, or doesn't show you how valuable you are all the time: LEAVE. Be it a partner, a job, a friend, or sometimes your own family. Just leave, your life will instantly get better.

‘Let go of not yet” this hit me hard, thank you.

Yes, indecision is a decision.

[tishabhayana]

Let go of taking things personally
Let go of what others think of you
Let go of trying to be something you're not
Let go of the need to be perfect
Let go of not yet

This talk helped me let go of my ex. I believe that everything that is happening right now is the right thing even if you still can't see it. We should just accept it and believe in the power of the universe because the path that is drawn to us is the right one. You who is heartbroken and reading this comment, have faith, be strong and know that what is for you will come back even if it means crossing mountains. For the mean time, enjoy life, don't take your time for granted and gain experience for the future. You can do this. X.

update : 2 years later, that same ex came back begging me to take him back, he's trying to include me back, as much as he can, to his life. but guess what? the universe is indeed a powerful machinery that repels exes, friends, family etc. not meant for you, faraway from you. And right now I can clearly see why. I met my soulmate and I am ecstatic. Couldn't be more relieved to know that everything truly happens for a reason.
Please stay strong, you're gonna be surprised by what life has to offer you. Trust the process, you are in the right path!

I pray that those who were disrespected, insulted and compared by their partners to their friends and ex's will have a happy ending in their life. Everyone deserves to be happy.

If you dont lose the person that is wrong for you. You will never find the one that's right for you. At 32 yrs old, I was hurting so bad after a relationship had failed. I thought it was the end of the world. 3 years later I married my wife. She is a trustworthy and great woman. Perfect for me. She loves me like I've always wanted to be, and I love her even more.. Married for 26 years now. So glad that the last relationship ended. Because I would have never found my soul mate. Move on. There is someone that was born for you. I promise.

[adilahaz]

The power of actually saying "no" when hector said "lets get married" is huge...

[samanthac]

Watching this after a breakup is so powerful, especially when you know that you're letting go of a relationship that's hurting you and taking your love for granted

She’s lucky she has friends some don’t and have to survive a break up on their own.

[thedrama-freeclub]

There comes a time when we have to realize that what we're fighting for isn't fighting back for us. So, it's time to let it go. We must learn to break free from people who continue to trifle with our feelings. Too often we try to invent ways to show them how much we care about them. Even with all our failed efforts, we still continue to try. As hard as it is, there comes a time when we have to stop caring so much about people who don't care about us.

[mentalfreedommastery]

Let go. Let go of regrets, let go of self doubt, and let go of the past.
