30 Things You Must Let Go As You Are 'Entering' The New Year by Dotwillis1(m): 3:19pm On Dec 31, 2014
Now the New Year is just few hours from now, which
inspires many of us to refocus our energy and attention on the
right things, I think as we 'advance' into a new year we gat to start letting
go of the wrong things. Wouldn’t you agree?



1.Let go of your temper. – Never do something permanently
foolish just because you are temporarily upset.

2. Let go of petty grudges. – Life is far too short to be spent
nursing bitterness and registering wrongs. If there’s someone in
your life who deserves another chance, give it to them. If you
need to apologize, do it. Give your story together a happy, new
beginning.

3. Let go of the idea that everyone has it better than you. – If the
grass looks greener on the other side… Stop staring. Stop
comparing. Stop complaining and START watering the grass
you’re standing on.

4. Let go of lingering false beliefs. – Stop from time to time and
ask yourself, “Is it true?” It’s funny how we can sometimes
wrap our minds around things and fit them into our version of
reality. But thinking something does not make it true. Wanting
something does not make it real. So watch your thoughts. Be
wise. When your identity is not rooted in the truth, it can lead to
toxic and lonely places where we seek approval from the wrong
things.

5. Let go of expired ideals. – Growth is painful. Change is
painful. But in the end, nothing is as painful as staying stuck
somewhere you do not belong.

6. Let go of yesterday’s tragedies – You are not what has
happened to you; you are what you choose to become in this
moment. Drop the needless burden, take a deep breath and start
again. Ultimately, you will know you are on the right track in
life when you become disinterested in looking back, and eager
to take the next step.

7. Let go of your tendency to avoid problems. – You cannot
change what you refuse to confront.

8. Let go of life’s little annoyances. – Don’t let dumb little things
break your happiness. Frustration and stress come from the way
you react, not the way things are. Adjust your attitude, and the
frustration and stress is gone.

9. Let go of assuming other people are more “normal” than you.
– The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t
know very well. Period.

10. Let go acting unapproachable. – We all need
to learn to be more human. Don’t avoid eye contact. Don’t hide
behind gadgets. Smile often. Ask about people’s stories.
Listen.

11. Let go of the idea that some people are below you. – Even if
you’ve worked really hard to get to where you are in life,
there’s no such thing as a self-made person. Someone believed,
encouraged, and invested in you. Be grateful and be that
someone for others too. What goes around eventually comes
around. No one has ever made themselves strong in the long
run by showing how small someone else is. So don’t be lazy
and make assumptions about people. Ask about their story.
Then listen. Be humble. Be teachable. Be human. Be a good
neighbor.

12. Let go of the idea that you are what you physically own.
You are an incredible human being who’s entirely detached
from what you have physically acquired in this world.
Remember to remain humble. Ultimately, two things define you
more than anything else: Your patience when you have very
little, and your attitude when you have more than enough.

13. Let go of wanting stuff you don’t need. – Don’t think of cost.
Think of value. And remember, it’s always easier to find wealth
by needing less, instead of making more and more and more.

14. Let go of seeking happiness from outside yourself. – In life,
you have to create your own sunshine. Happiness starts from
within. So read something positive every morning and do
something positive before you go back to sleep. Keep your
focus on all the positive possibilities and opportunities, and you
will feel great. Feel great, and you will do great things.

15. Let go of wanting to be repaid of every good deed you do.
Don’t worry too much about what’s in it for you. If you’re
making a positive contribution to others, there’s always
something in it for you. You were born with the ability to
change someone’s life. Don’t ever waste it. Be kind. Be
present. Be someone who makes a difference.

present. Be someone who makes a difference.

16. Let go of all the little white lies and charades. – How do you
build credibility? It’s not rocket science. Be honest. Follow
through. Honor your promises. Say sorry when you screw up.
Be the type of person you want to meet and spend time with. Be
the type of person whose actions, words and values always
agree with each other.

17. Let go of any hypocrisy. – For instance, don’t pray when it
rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.

18. Let go of putting everyone else’s needs in front of your own.
Give as much as you can every day, but don’t allow yourself to
be used. Listen to others closely, but don’t lose your own voice.

19. Let go of fearing what your intuition is telling you to do. –
Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. So don’t let fear
shut you down; let it wake you up. Do one thing every day that
scares you. The more that you act on your intuition fearlessly,
the more your intuition will serve you. If you genuinely feel
something, pay attention.

20. Let go of waiting for the stars to align. – Remember, you don’t
always need the perfect plan. Sometimes you just need to give
it a try, let go, and see what happens. Just do the best you can
until you know better. Once you know better, do better.

21. Let go of the need to get everything done at once. – Keep
going. True purpose has no time limit. True purpose has no
deadline. Don’t stress and overwhelm yourself. Just do what
you can right now.

22. Let go of the “all or nothing” mentality regarding success.
Appreciate the grey area between the extremes of success and
failure – the journey, the process, the path – what you’re
learning, how you’re helping others learn too, and the growing
process you allow yourself to participate in. And above all,
never let success get to your head or failure get to your heart.

23. Let go of criticizing yourself. – Nobody is inspired by your
misery or self-deprecating comments. If you wish to inspire
yourself and others, be joyful. Have fun. Love yourself.
Forgive yourself. Accept yourself. Be unapologetically YOU.

24. Let go of those who say you aren’t attractive enough. – More
women worldwide are suffering from anorexia and bulimia than
are fighting breast cancer. There are similar statistics for men
too. Love yourself the way you are, because you are beautiful
just the way you are.

25.Let go of changing just to impress people. – Change because it
makes you a better person and leads you to a brighter future.
Change because you know it’s the right thing to do for YOU.

26. Let go of needing everyone to like you. – Everyone doesn’t
need to like you, and some people won’t no matter what you do.
Try not to take the things these people say about you
personally. What they think and say is a reflection of them, not
you.

27. Let go of all negative influences. Period. – You can’t expect to
feel good if you surround yourself with negativity. Be with
those who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you.

28. Let go of thinking that giving up the wrong things (and
relationships) means failure.
– Giving up and moving on are
two very different things.

29. Let go of the idea that it’s too late to start over and get it
right.
– Remember, it’s always better to be at the bottom of the
ladder you want to climb than the top of the one you don’t.

30. Let go of putting things off for one more day – Stop
procrastinating. Stop wishing for it and start working for it. Do
what you have to do today so you can do what you truly want to
do, and be where you truly want to be, tomorrow.


Happy new year in Advance !!!!
