Charles Fillmore Quotes

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond.

But what is past my help is past my care.

Just remember that if you've lost something, you will be open to something else.

At different times in life, I've felt like it's time to say goodbye from some form of myself that's been hanging around for a while - you just feel this urge to move on, like a herd of antelope. They're just standing there in a field eating grass. You feel like that as a person sometimes. Where's it's just time to move on.

In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.

You'll drift apart, it's true, but you'll be out in the open, part of everything alive again.
