you’re powerful, know that

When we hold onto the pain of the past, it forfeits our power to release. There’s so much more power in letting go than holding onto grudges against those who’ve wronged us. Holding grudges gives people control over our emotions & the way we interact with others.

Subconsciously, we navigate through our relationships in fear. We don’t want to be hurt again, but how burdensome is that? To constantly be on edge, to constantly be afraid of connection.

This is why we must use our energy to let go. To release the grip fear has on our hearts and allow our relationships to take their course. You can’t control how people treat you, but you can control how you react and how much you let it affect you.

You’re powerful, know that.

So ask yourself these questions:

Do I have pain? What grudges are my pain stemming from? Does holding onto these grudges benefit me at all? Will I feel better when I let go and reclaim my power?
