‘Let go’ will only be a kind of theory but not practice if you fail to face the matter behind it courageously and positively. In fact, whatever once happened in our lives will forever exist in our mind’s eye not letting us forget but making us, wittingly or unwittingly, remember it from time to time even when we have exerted all our strength trying to let go of them. What’s worse, you will find the more you want to let go of them, the harder.

To make ‘let go’ work, you first have to face the matter behind it with all your courage. For instance, if you fear darkness, you have to find out the cause of it and then courageously face it. Let’s say the fear of darkness is resulting from your stepmother who had often beaten you severely for no reason and then locked you up inside a dark room not letting you out when you were a kid. What you have to do now is courageously deal with such a trauma that you have experienced so that you can let go of the fear of darkness stemming from your childhood with your stepmother. Find her out and tell her how you were hurt then and how your life afterward has been affected, and boldly ask her to offer you an explanation or a sincere apology. Only then will you restore your life to normal by letting go of such a fear of darkness.
