What floats your boat?

Every person is different. Every person will have different priorities. What's important to me may not be important to you. I know some people who work 90 hours a week. I know some folks who work on holidays. They are always on the go and always have money in the bank, feel secure, and to them, that floats their boat. I know some people who are simple, have a roof over their head, 3 square meals a day & have abundant family time and they're happy - to them, that's what floats their boat. The world is just filled with many many things in different forms that can make us happy. Take your pick! Take advantage! What floats your boat?!

Letting go is not a one-time thing

This week I found out the following:

Letting go is not a one time thing. It is something you have to do over and over again, everyday.

I came across a woman who got divorced and re-married. She divorced her ex-husband because he had other women. She was routinely miserable.

A couple of years later, she found someone - someone she was very compatible with. She is happier than ever (:

Six years after her divorce, she ran into her ex-husband.

Although ultimately she knows she's in a much better place 10 times over and her first marriage is in fact non-existent, her natural first reaction is to feel pain.

And although in the last 4 years, she has been blissfully happy in her current marriage, she had to take a deep breath and let go (again).

Time does not heal all wounds. With time, your pain can be reduced and you're able to move forward with your life, but there can be a scar left behind. Healing and letting go is an on-going process. Letting go is definitely not a one time deal.

You must consciously remind yourself to let go and move forward.

Letting go is not a one time thing. It is something you have to do over and over again, everyday.
