Strength to hold on and Wisdom to let go



In relationships, the ABILITY to hold on or to let go shouldn’t be the measurement of one’s true strength and wisdom. Both requires strength and nobody can really tell if one is better than the other. Being in a relationship entails a huge amount of patience and a lot of effort in order to make things work; while letting go requires a lot of courage to accept one’s lost and enough perseverance to endure the pain of moving on.
For me, a strong and wise person is one who:
1. has the ability discern whether he/she should still hold on or it’s time to let go;
2. can be responsible enough to pay for the price of his/her decision by accepting the consequences that goes with it without being bitter and find joy and purpose in the midst of pain and hardships; and
3. is faithful enough to regret nothing and surrender everything to God, believing that God has a purpose for everything.
