Life is a process of letting go

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Something to think about…

Life is a process of letting go, letting go of conditions we can’t control, letting go of people — watching them move out of our lives, letting go of times, places, experiences.  Leaving behind anyone or anyplace we have loved may sadden us, but it also provides us opportunities for growth we hadn’t imagined.  These experiences push us beyond our former selves to deeper understandings of ourselves and of others.

So often those experiences that sadden us, that trigger pain, are the best lessons life is able to offer.  Experiencing the pain, surviving the pain that wrenches us emotionally, stretches us to new heights.  Life is enriched by the pain.  Our experiences with all other persons thereafter are deeper.  Instead of dreading the ending of a time, the departure of a loved one, we must try to appreciate what we have gained already, and know that life is fuller for it.
