Must Read Quotes About Moving on and Letting Go

Moving on and letting go are really hard things to do. Some of the most difficult times in my life were when I needed to move on from a situation or let go of a relationship. I’m very sentimental so walking away has never been easy for me even when I know it’s in my best interest. Here are some quotes about moving on and letting go that I love and have helped me get through some difficult times.

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.”
–Lao Tzu

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.”

“When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future.

When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.”
-Gerald G. Jampolsky

“Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.”

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”
-Mary Manin Morrissey

“Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!”
-Steve Maraboli

“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox, rather than choose up sides. The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are, but never stop trying to learn and grow.”
-Tony Schwartz

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
-Stephen King

“Life moves forward. The old leaves wither, die and fall away, and the new growth extends forward into the light.”
-Bryant McGill

“Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.”
-Osho

“There’s a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over – and to let go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its value.”

So, lock the door, shed a tear, turn around and look for the new door that’s opened. It’s a sign that you’re no longer that person you were, it’s time to change into who you are. It’s going to be okay.”
-Lee Goff
