Renaissance Black Woman: Out with the old and in with the new

Out with the old and in with the new

I am not big on new year's resolutions, but I do make an appoint to stop doing certain things that I feel will hender my progress in the new year. You know, those things you know you need to change but never really have motivation to. I read this little piece every year around this time, I hope it will inspire my fellow RBW's to get rid of whatever they need to in order to bring 2008 in right.

LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and it was never intended for your life then you need to LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains, LET IT GO!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth, LET IT GO!

If someone angered you, LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge, LET IT GO!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction, LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents, LET IT GO!

If you have a bad attitude, LET IT GO!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better, LET IT GO!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in him, LET IT GO!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken realtionship, LET IT GO!

If you keep trying to help someone who wont even help themselves, LET IT GO!

If you are feeling stressed or depressed, LET IT GO!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "Take your hands off it" then you need to LET IT GO!

Let the past be the past and forget the former things.

God is doing a new thing!!!

LET IT GO IN 2008!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY RENAISSANCE BLACK PEOPLE!

I hear ya girl! I'm the Queen of letting go and moving on...it takes way too much energy to hang on to people, experiences, etc. who do you more harm then good.

Happy New Year to you and yours!! Be safe!

TD JAKES!

I posted during one of my early, early, earlier blog post. Damn good advice. Easier said than done. But if you analyze these words, word for word, it does begin to have an effect on your mental. Trust me.
