It doesn’t matter how many books you’ve read, how many lectures you’ve attended or how long you’ve been in therapy.

Holding on to old resentments, habits and situations is just like being dragged along by a powerboat. You might think it’s your boyfriend, your mother, your company, your childhood, your friends or your circumstances that are creating whatever state you’re stuck in. But you have more power than you realize, or maybe than you’re willing to admit.

All efforts to clutch and smother the people in our lives in order to fill our own need for love and attention inevitably end up working against those relationships. So what can you do to change this? One word: Release.

The days where I’ve put my work, relationships, money, whatever, before my ~ing are days that life stops flowing.
