Giving Up

In many cases of life tenacity is a good quality to have. To hold on to things and never to give up on them. It is a common teaching for us to hang on and not to give up on things that we want, to push on despite all obstacles that stand in our way. It isn't a wrong teaching as for most things persistence help us to get through.

However, there are things we couldn't blindly hang on to. In life we have to learn to let go and give up on certain things. There are a number of conditions that could make giving up the more reasonable choice to take. When the situations are so we should really consider to stop being stubborn and let it go.

One good example would be a relationship, whether you're chasing after, already together or have broken up. If things aren't meant to be there's really no point to force things to work out. After all, what we want is for who we love to be happy so if letting go would make them happier why not consider letting go. You can still be around and continue to love them but doesn't mean you need to dwell on wanting to be their lover.

Another factor is the time factor. The value of things changes in time and we move into a different phase through the progress of time. There may come a time where moving on to the next phase could get better results instead of retaining on the same platform chasing after the same target that couldn't be reached. Life is a variable, we need to adapt and not to be stubborn. It's good to have tenacity, but we should be open of exceptional cases.


Don't blindly hold on to what we should be daring to let go
