“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.”

Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:

When you let go of something that’s bothering you, it can be much stronger than if you keep trying to hold onto it or fight for it. For example, if a friend has done something to hurt you and you keep thinking about it, you make yourself feel worse and the problem stays in your mind. But if you decide to forgive them and move on, you free yourself from the pain and can feel more peaceful. Think about a situation where people argue over something small, like who should wash the dishes. If one person decides to stop arguing and just does it without complaint, the fight ends, and there’s peace in the house. Choosing to let go can be hard, but it often leads to less stress and more happiness. So, instead of holding onto anger or grudges, try to move past them for your own well-being. Letting go shows inner strength and makes your life better.
