For change to truly occur, we must say our goodbyes to our pasts. To start anew, we must say our goodbyes to the things that are holding us back.
Old ideas can hold us back, therefore, we must say goodbye to them. Saying goodbye isn’t easy because we want to continue to hold on to what is familiar to us.
It also isn’t easy to explore new territory when we don’t know what’s out there. One of the old fables that ends with a moral states: “Familiarity breeds contempt.” Although familiarity feels safe to most of us, we lose respect for the things we experience over and over.
When this happens, then it’s time for us to say goodbye to old things and say hello to new things.
love this. sometimes I feel gultiy for how painful those little moments of realization are, those when did you get so big?’ moments. i feel like i shouldn’t mourn the past so much (aren’t we supposed to grow up? press on? move forward? let our kids do the same?)but you put it so well here -they are relentless, these goodbyes!it’s part of life to mourn but always there is joy and hope for the restoration to come
