Done With The Old, On With The New
I’m feeling a little bummed today. I guess it’s one of those days when I can’t really figure out what to do. I’m at a point in my life right now where I’m trying to let go of the past and move on. But you know how it is, sometimes we have this tendency to resist change. We’re reluctant to let go of something that we’ve been so used to, and try something else… something new.
Sometimes I have this tendency to cling to things that are comfortable and familiar. I do welcome change, but I’m scared to let go of the old and familiar. It’s an annoying habit, really. I wish sometimes I could just throw cautions to the wind and just do something completely new and out of the ordinary. I think it’s the age-old reason that it’s better to have the old and familiar, than nothing at all. At least, there’s always this safety net that you can fall back in, right?
I know it’s not healthy, and I know life is too precious for me to just “SETTLE”. I’m trying to work through that and to remind myself always that change can be a good thing too. And that life without risks is not worth living anyway. There are days when I’m feeling all revved up and my mind is made up, and I’m ready to take the jump. But other days, it’s not so easy.
Nevertheless, it’s definitely something that I should continue to try to do. Maybe someday I’ll learn to finally let go of the old, and embrace the new. I am so looking forward to it. 
How about you… do you have any problems letting go of the old and familiar things in your life? I sure could use some tips.

Someone once told me that “change is the only constant”
I hate changes as well.. but life is all about changes.. its just inevitable..
I suppose you can try and look forward to ‘good’ changes..
papams’s last blog post..Indeed, its Friday…. again.
letting go in every aspect is challenging. others don’t want to let go of the bad things and others will cling on to dear life just to not let go of the good old, familiar things. this is because people are afraid of changes. change brings about uncertainty, doubt, fear but on the other hand it also brings excitement, mystery and hope. in my opinion, change will not go away. so instead of fighting it, go with it. it’s the nagging feeling of the “what ifs” that i don’t want to hunt me down.
dyosa’s last blog post..TO WORLD MARKET WE WENT: GOURDO’S
very well said guys… yes you’re right, the only thing permanent in this world is change… and we have to learn to deal with changes as they come, whether they’re good or bad.
i agree with you dyosa, i guess im really just afraid of the uncertainty, doubt and fear that is brought about by change, but i also need to remind myself to look forward to the excitement and mystery of it as well. thanks for your comments!
