I often catch myself wanting things to be absolutely perfect before I 'go' and forget that a major part of the learning happens in the 'going'. And really, the average person does not expect me to be perfect. My own inhibitions and perfectionist attitudes hold me back from becoming the person I'm meant to be. It's sometimes hard to let go of negative things, memories, people, and circumstances. We even feel guilty at times if we start to let go of the emotion attached to them. What happened was significant. It deserves the attention doesn't it? Yes. And no. It deserves to be remembered but it does not need to control our life and keep us back from taking off on our 'run'. There are many techniques that can help people overcome this if they struggle with it. My favorite is EFT but I'm sure your readers know of others. Gosh when I sat down to comment I didn't know I was going on a tangent. I'd be interested to see a post on techniques for dealing with the past when someone has already done all the forgiving and are ready to move on. This is all so true Kellie.
