“When you hold onto your history you do it at the expense of your destiny”
Bishop T.D. Jakes.
I’m not a big Facebook person, but I do scroll through my feed and come across some great little quotes and videos.
I was led to a video clip from the Oprah Network, and lured in by the caption of “let it go” – which is my theme this year. (And boy has this year been a test – but also an understanding that “let it go” can mean fight your hardest, then after you’ve done all you can do, let it go and rely on your faith to do the rest – pretty much where we are at).
The very short clip revealed Bishop T.D. Jakes saying this quote and Oprah having a moment about it. She loved it, and I have to agree, it’s great. Especially given the drama we have been living here right now.
Bishop Jakes went on to say:
“If you are going to spend all that energy energizing where you’ve been , then you’re not going to have the fuel and the fire and the tenacity and the aggressiveness that you need for where you are going. So – let it go!”
Nothing more to add. Except, Amen.
Amen is right! What a great quote. I’ve been guilty of holding onto the past and it really does hold back forward momentum. Let it go – love it!

So true and I will add now when I hear, “Let It Go” in my house, it is usually one of my girls singing this exact song now from the movie Frozen, so definitely agree with the quote here and the movie wasn’t far off with this song either!! 🙂

I guess this goes along with not living in the past – something I try to never do!!

Love it. It’s not always easy, but letting it go works out better in the end. And it keeps you sane!

I think we’ve all been guilty of holding onto the past at some point. What a great quote. Moving on is sometimes the very best thing you can do!
