"You are free to move forward, despite all that you have been through"

Sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to leave something behind. You have to let go of what was so that you have the freedom to keep going.

S for all of the things that are out of your control, I hope you know, even here, you are still free to let them go. Even if closure didn’t look like what you thought it would, and you wonder how the aftermath of it all could possibly be good, you can still let go. And letting go doesn’t mean you are okay with everything that happened and the way it happened. It means that in spite of what happened, you are allowing yourself to experience peace, anyway. You are seeing that you are free to move on, no matter what did or did not change.

And in all that change, you will find endless grace to move forward, with the wisdom you have gathered through this. You will find that you are free to be kind to yourself, knowing you did everything you could. There will always be things you wonder about, and you may even wonder if you could have handled things differently, but what matters now is that you are honest and forgiving of yourself and with others...letting go, knowing that this is where you will find your freedom.

And with this freedom you can continue to move forward. Knowing that no matter the shadows behind you, the Light before is shining with grace and truth...reminding you that you are free to keep going, despite all you have been through.

I hope the very best for you and I hope your past does not hold you back. I hope you are able to keep your eyes open to the possibilities of what this new day brings. You are not weak or irresponsible or incapable just because you haven’t been able to tie up every loose end. Even when it comes to the things you have been through working so hard toward, whether it’s at work, in a relationship, something regarding your health, know that there is grace for you to remember that even when it’s personal, there are so many things out of your control. And it’s okay if you can’t fix it all. It’s okay if you don’t have all of the answers right now. You are still free to slow down. You are still free to let go. You are not hindered by your past. You are not hidden by failed attempts at fixing this. The seeds of hope and love that you have already sown matter than you know. The attention you give to this present moment, and this present day matter more than you know.

You are free to let go.
You are free to let go.
You are free to embrace this new day no matter the uncertainty that comes your way.

More tomorrow...
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
