Courage to give up

I'm not sure if anyone of you encountered any obstacles or dilemma where you had to make a decision whether to forgo someone / something that you cared a lot about....and how you went about making the decision and the pain you had to go through....i had to say, i have encountered many many instances throughout the N years of my life....when i was young, i was in dilemma whether i should spend all my money on candy or keep it for future use...or whether i should study or go out and play...sounds like very minor things now but they all meant so much to me at the time....the dilemma or decisions seem to become harder as you get older...at one stage, it is whether you want to be with someone then whether you want to leave home and go abroad to try your luck...imagine the amount of things, emotions you have to think through and give up in order to gain something...well...sometimes, we are just too afraid to let go something that we think is important to us...like i said before...it may be important to me now but perhaps few years down the track, it may not be that important to me anymore and i may even find that i feel lucky that i have made the decision and thus, i become the person i am today?! i saw a short passage today... sometimes you just have to have the courage to give up in order to gain something...there is an old saying..."NO PAIN NO GAIN"

投降的勇氣 - 有一個治療師，在他寫一本書的時候正面臨人生最大的危機，他毅然決然痛苦結束看似完美的，已維持二十五年的婚姻，他住在空無一物，只剩一張床，一張書桌椅的公寓寫下這本書。而他只想傳達一個觀念：就是你放棄什麼，終會在歸還於你。

你的個人成長，絕對可以從損傷，創傷，依賴中走出真理。
