"It is the letting go that allows you to go on."
An old tale tells of a man with a sack on his back. Every time someone does something unkind to him or does something he doesn’t like, he picks up a stone and places it in his sack. Soon his sack is very heavy from his load of rocks. It weight him down and makes it difficult for him to do any of the activities he used to enjoy or even to spend time with anyone he loves.
After some time, he met a wise old
woman.
He stopped and begged her, “Wise old woman, tell me how I can again have fun and enjoy my life. For my heavy load is so great that I no longer find pleasure in anything. All I have time to do is to carry the load."
The wise old woman smiled and shook
her head. “Foolish man, do you not think if you empty your sack you will be
able to enjoy life once more?”
If you hold on to your past hurts, they will
prevent you from being able to enjoy the future.The thought was indeed amazing to the man. He had not considered that he could let go of any of the rocks on his back, “But how do I no longer remember the injustice that has been done to me.” The old woman smiled and said, “This is precisely the point." "It is in the letting go that allows you to go on.”
