How to Let Go of People Who No Longer Need, or Want, to Be in Your Life

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.” ~ Stephen King
One of the hardest things in life is learning how to let go of the people we love the most.
We hold on to those close to us so tightly, fearing that without them we will be nothing. Fearing that without them the love we feel in our hearts will be forever lost.
Our attachment interferes with the love we have for them, taking away from the purity and the beauty that love has to offer.

HOW TO LET GO OF PEOPLE WHO NO LONGER NEED, OR WANT, TO BE IN YOUR LIFE

Deepak Chopra says it best with these words:
“Love allows your beloved the freedom to be unlike you. Attachment asks for conformity to your needs and desires. Love imposes no demands. Attachment expresses an overwhelming demand – “Make me feel whole.” Love expands beyond the limits of two people. Attachment tries to exclude everything but two people.”
Letting go doesn’t have to be that hard, in fact, it becomes easier and easier as we learn to accept, appreciate and love ourselves for who we are and for who we are not.
Releasing and letting go will help you return to a place of peace and tranquility.
There comes a time in our lives when we have to do what’s right and to honor not only ourselves but also the people around us. It’s the relationship that you are letting go of but not the love you have for the other person.
If you love something if you love someone, and if you feel that you need to learnd how let go of them if it’s required to let go, do it. It might hurt at first but once the pain is gone you will feel more alive than you have ever felt. You will start to see things from a totally different perspective and you will understand that letting go is a sign of strength, of courage and of great love.
You let go of someone not because you no longer care, not because you no longer need and want them in your life, but because you understand that they will be happier someplace else. You will be happy someplace else.

This is what true love is all about.

Real love transcends the material plane and no matter if your bodies are apart, your souls will forever be connected.
“There is no such thing as a “broken family.” Family is family and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.” ~ C. JoyBell C.
If you haven’t found a way to be at peace with yourself, and if you haven’t found a way to be happy on your own, chances are that you won’t be happy next to the person you love either. You can’t expect to get from others what you yourself don’t have to offer.
Love yourself. Be good to yourself.
Change the thoughts you think and the words you speak. Purify your internal dialogue. Learn to talk to, and about, yourself in the same way you would talk to, and about, those you love the most.

Meditate. Spend time alone. Take a walk and explore nature with your senses. Write about your thoughts and feelings. Do something you’re passionate about. Go out with your friends. Laugh, dance, be silly, be weird, be playful, be childlike. Do all the things that bring you joy and laughter.
Treat yourself with kindness, love, and compassion and learn to express your gratitude for the many gifts life offered you up until this moment.
Take your focus away from those things that cause you to feel pain, stress, anxiety, fear, and unhappiness, on to those things that make your heart sing, on to those things that make you happy.
This too shall pass and the more you learn to enjoy your own company, the more comfortable you will be with this idea of letting go and all of a sudden life will become a lot easier.
“Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.” ~ Lao Tzu
Learn how to let go and trust that maybe life has better plans for you. Go with the flow and not against it.
Why hold on to something good when life wants you to have something better?
