The timing for this article couldn’t have been more perfect.

For the last two months or so I’ve been struggling a lot to let go of some things that no longer serve me any benefit (or are actually to my detriment), including getting off of certain social media platforms such as instagram. I even made my phone screen the Leo Buscaglia quote, “Let Go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love” to keep me motivated.

This article has given me more chizzuk and will to keep on this path

Thank you Rav Naiman

Hey Avi!

I'm so happy you found this helpful. Thanks for sharing that.

And I so identify with the tendency to "cling to pain," there's just something in our nature that wants to hold on, even if that means suffering. Which is why letting go can seem so hard - but is so liberating when we do it!
