I just wanna share this thought that i have received in my email months ago. im still saving it because i love the content. May you read this one too and learn to let go.
LET IT GO..
When people can walk away from you.. let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19)
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of goodbye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in goodbye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful. And i know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat i don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains... LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back and see your worth... LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge... LET IT GO!!!
If u are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longet meets your needs or talents... LET IT GOD!!!
If you have a bad attitude... LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him... LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship... LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves... LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed... LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it", then you need to... LET IT GO!!!

Thanks for sharing. Let go and let God have it and not take it back. So many times we let it go and then take it back. We have to trust him when we give it to him....

I'll agree that this is an inspirational message but my debate partner doesn't think so. She made mention that the problem of Catholicism in itself is its passivity to people's troubles and pains. According to her, the Roman Catholic religion pacifies people instead of making them taking the appropriate action.
While the love for peace is a desirable attribute, repression of action and sentiments is an unhealthy one. People should be allowed to choose which action to take, and even to choose to be passive, as by letting go.
Hence, there should be other options than letting go. Pursue (in the context of love), fight (in the name of justice and freedom and endure (in the idea of sacrifice and selfless devotion, i.e. religion, ironically).
Getting over something doesn't entail letting go. Trusting in God doesn't translate to letting Him do the work alone. People can do so much more, conquer what they thought was unconquerable, achieve more than they could have imagined if they DON'T LET GO.
