“To let go of judgement does not mean that you don’t see what they do. It means that you recognize their behavior as a form of conditioning, and you see it and accept it as that. You don’t construct an identity out of it for that person.”- Eckhart Tolle, philosopher

No matter what anyone has done to you, it is not about you. It is about the person. Don’t focus on it. The best way to let go of what people have done to you is to surrender to life. Why is that? Because you can’t control other people, but you can control yourself.

Live your life. Keep going forward. You are here to live your life, not to think about what other people have done to you. You are here to celebrate what the Lord has done for you, not to dwell on what someone has done to you. Remember, you are bigger, stronger than what someone has done to you. If you want love to come into your life, you must let go of hate. If you want happiness to dominate your life, you must let go of negative thoughts. If you want to move your life forward, you must let go of your old self. Try it and see what happens.

No Life Is Problem-Free

You may not have chosen your life, but you can choose how you will live it. You may not have chosen your problems, but you can choose how you will manage them. Remember, if you want to live a peaceful life, if you want to live a successful life, if you want to be productive in your life, there is no problem-free life.

What matters is you. What really matters is where you are going. If you focus on where you are going, you will get there. But be patient with yourself. Herman Hesse said, “What matters in a person’s existence is to accept the inevitable consciously, to taste the good and bad to the full and to make for oneself a more individual, unaccidental and inward destiny alongside one’s external fate…” It is impossible to live your life without tasting the good and bad things. If you are honest with yourself, to get what you want, you must accept what you don’t want to accept.

You can’t solve a problem without first accepting it. If you want to solve a problem, you must first understand it. According to Robert H. Schuller, “Everybody has problems. No life is problem-free.” And to solve a problem, according to Robert H. Schuller, “Put your problem in proper perspective.” We all have problems. From today, you should always focus on solutions, not problems.
