If you want to go up, you have to let go

Just this morning, we had our first meeting with our teacher Sir Romy Amarado in one of our major subjects which is Business News reporting. Wearing his faded jeans and checkered black and red polo, our teacher started to give us an overview about the subject.

At first, I thought that this subject would be one of those boring classes I have but surprisingly, it turned out to be so interesting for me. He made mentioned about how important business news reports are in our society and all those stuffs. And what struck me most is when he mentioned that “If you want to go up, you must learn how to let go some baggage in your life”.

Certainly, we are living in a world where almost everyone want to excel in their chosen fields may it be in their studies, wok, business, and etc. And of course, I am one of those. Hahahah! Chos! :)

Seriously for me, it really takes a lot of courage for you to let go some things in your life that you’ve holding on to for such a long period of time. Having that fear that we couldn’t live without it is just one of the reasons why it is not that easy to do it.

But as we grow up, we experienced a lot of things in our lives which empower us to learn and allowed us to prioritize things. At some point, we have to let go things that would somehow hinder us from achieving our goals no matter how much it may hurt us. Letting go may result into some changes. But embracing those changes for you to be a better person is just worth the risk. I remember this bible verse that talk about “letting go” and so, I’ll share it with you. :)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. - Hebrews 12:1 

a new beginning

Here I stand

I can't look back, never again

The past is the past, gone forever

I refuse to think about it

It’s too painful; too wonderful

Too overwhelming

I shake my head

I can't think of that now

I must look forward

But looking forward is scary

Painful. Wonderful. Overwhelming.

But I must take a look at the future

The new beginning

I left my head up

Unafraid. Prepared. Ready.

Ready to start again

I walk forward

Growing more confident with each step

I can do this, no problem

I walk on, away from the past

And into the new beginning!
