(Here’s a thought-provoking post from Karl at www.karlblog.com) 

Have you ever hung on to a thought or a situation so tightly that it causes you stress or pain?

Perhaps – right now – you’re hanging on to an unhealthy relationship, habit or lifestyle? 

Maybe you convince yourself that you really need this relationship, habit or lifestyle?

The truth is that we often attach ourselves to situations that aren’t particularly good for us and we do so because we’re basically frightened of change.

Some people will suffer immensely, putting up with a bad situation because they are more frightened of the unknown alternatives.

There comes a point, however, where enough is enough.

If you have reached this point in your life, simply stop and let go!

Sounds too easy? Well, actually it is but when you have convinced yourself that the alternative is more frightening, stopping and letting go appears to be much more difficult than it is.

The point to remember is that YOU always have a CHOICE!

No matter what is happening in your life, you definitely have a choice!

You can choose how you react to every situation or event in your life. You can choose to see that the pain and stress of holding on to an unhealthy situation is actually creating a miserable life. Sometimes, you have to stop and let go no matter what you think may lie ahead.

What’s more, when you make a conscious decision to change a situation, you will feel your life lighten.

So, stop and let go.

Release your grip on an unhealthy situation. Focus on what will bring you happiness and healthy experiences. It will change your life … for the BETTER!

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!
