Bo Sanchez once said that the key to happiness is to mind the things inside your circle of control and let go of the things that you do not have power over. Or something to that effect. Haha.
You do not have the power over heavy traffic so all you need to do is to find out what the rush hours are and avoid them. You do not have the power of what other people think or want to do. All you need to do is be independent of them and take care of things on your own sans whatever it is that they would think or feel about it.
Let go of the people who invalidate you.
Let go of the people who do not appreciate you.
Let go of the people who are negative in your life.
Let go of the people who do not bring out the best in you.
In some instances, yes, it will be hard. But at some point, you gotta bite the bullet.
As my mother-in-law once said, there will always be someone who would want you, for what you are worth, for what you are. People who would treat you best because they also realize your value in their lives. This applies to friends, your partners, your colleagues, everyone inside your circle.
How about you?
What are you letting go today?
