“In the end, the whole of life becomes the act if letting go” - Do you agree with this quote?

And what do you think about this?

Here is the complete and corrected quote: “I suppose, in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most... is not taking a moment to say goodbye.” The more we attempt to control our life, the more complicated it becomes. Subtle changes are fine, but big changes lead us to feel we never quite fit into what we've created. If we don't take time to truly say goodbye to our past when we move forward, we just end up dragging unfinished business into our future... providing more obstacles to trip over. I believe letting go means being true to oneself, making the most of what already exists, rather than mold ourselves into what we're not, in the belief of the grass being greener on the other side.

yes, I spent my whole life moving forwards and leaving everything else in the past. Now that I am older it is hard to reconcile with it.

@exitseven It is amazing how much we overlook while focusing on what is to come. We miss out on what could be very special experiences.

[lightbulb27]

I agree with this and I need to learn.

[caring__1]

@lightbulb27 The key is to be observant. Pay attention to what is rather than focus on what we believe could or should be.

[lightbulb27]

agree!

I disagree. At the end of the life well lived, instead of letting go you have prioritized and valued what is most important

I wouldn't put it quite that way. It's close though. I'd say, "The whole of life is getting the point of realizing how little you're in control of. Just doing your best and being at peace with it".

[msc545]

This depends a lot on what is meant by "letting go".

[loveslongnails]

Only in the sense that you have no choice but to!

In the end life is wasted in unnecessary and useless stuff and one become old quickly. Babes 😉

Eh….

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I felt it.

[Summeroflove]

Felt what?

[serious]

No, I don't agree with this.

[Jennz6]

I’m not at the “End” so I can’t really say

[Anonymous]

[Rohaan2020]

Absolutely correct
