Letting Go and Holding on
Letting Go and Holding On
Oh how I love life, walking outside in spring and summer and smelling the honeysuckle floating on the warm breeze.
Couples walking hand in hand, smiles of happiness from being in love owners walking their dogs, kids laughing and playing, birds chirping and singing all day long each and every day the world continues on.
Life is crazy, and totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over, kick you while you're down and hit you when you try to get back up.
Not everything can beat you.
Things are going to change you, but you get to choose which ones you let change you.
Sometimes I get tired of its confusion tired of the pain.
I'm tired of the emptiness from hearts I've parted from.
Tired of wishing for more but not knowing which way to turn and sometimes too scared to look back.
To let go completely of yesterday, and grasp a hold on the hope of tomorrow.
A hope that if tomorrow gets here, it won't be like yesterday.
Yesterday's holding on to the hope of a lost love yesterday's disappointments of the same ol' routine yesterday's wishing bills didn't exist so there wouldn't be any living from check to check.
Yesterday's empty dreams of a fairy tale ending,
Wanting an end to all my struggling.
OH... holding onto the hope of tomorrow...
Cause one day I was told:
Listen to your heart, follow your dreams,
And let no one tell you what you're capable of.
Push the limits, Bend the rules,
And enjoy every minute of it.
Laugh at everything, Live for as long as you can.
Love all, but trust none. Believe in yourself,
And never lose faith in others, Settle for nothing but only the best,
And give 110% in everything you do.
Take risks, Live on the edge, Yet stay safe,
Never lose hope for tomorrow
A tomorrow filled with pure happiness knowing that this direction on the path is the one and only way...
Success.
A tomorrow filled with the reassurance that you’re headed for better days.
A tomorrow

    letting go 101

    The concern for safety in todays’ world is as strong as the desire for the best colleges for our children. We as parent, want the best and the best only for them. So if we love our sons and daughters so much, why do we fell the need to control them and their own surrounding space. Why would we monitored their every move instead of letting them grow as adult men and women they would like to be. We will try to demonstrate that by not letting go, parents only recreate a desire to seek the safest path for their heirs and heiresses. By becoming parents in a devastated world, we also develop an innate sense of love that cannot be destroyed. We will try to show that even if the author is right, the dangers of our society cannot be compared to previous one. And by making sure our children are as safe as they could be, we keep the hope that we are in control of their education and future at least.…

    Psychological Abandonment Research Paper

    Hello Kristin, your post is very interesting. You have mentioned some points that caught my attention. I agree with you that the duty of health care professional is to provide treatment for patients by using all resource that are available. One thing we need to talk about in treatment of a terminal disease is the psychological abandonment no matter whether the patient is a kid or an adult. Usually, physicians have the tendency to abandon patients who are dying. If someone has a terminal disease, that person still need physical and emotional support of doctors so that he or she can regain hope and feel more comfortable. That is why Doherty argues that “psychological abandonment is the greater danger that sometime leads a health professional…

    Emotion Regulation: Effective Attachment Movements

    Interactions with available attachment figures and the resulting sense of attachment security provides for the learning of constructive emotion regulation strategies concerning accessibility to and display of emotions (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2012). Mikulincer and Shaver (2012) provide the example that interactions with emotionally accessible and responsive others provide a context in which a child can learn that acknowledgment and display of emotions is an important step toward restoring emotional balance, and that it is useful and socially acceptable to express, explore, and to try and understand one’s feelings. In children with avoidant histories, the emotions that would have facilitated effective communication and exchange that would have developed from the above described context are defensively modified and cut off and so when experiencing distress children with an avoidant history may be unable to draw upon potentially supportive relationships as a result of being unable to…

    Resilience: Breaking Up With A Feeling Of Prosperity

    Resilience is the ability to bounce back despite difficulty and go ahead to live useful lives with a feeling of prosperity. The experiences that I have had where I have shown this quality (resilience) is when my boyfriend of 4 years broken up with me. The break up that occurred was very heart breaking and emotional. The first few weeks were horrible. I had a hard time waking up every morning. I couldn’t face the fact that he had really left me on my own to suffer. So I had to start off with small steps to recovery like getting through the day one hour at a time without him and regular things that I normally do like eating lunch or just laying down relaxing. Then I needed to acknowledge the circumstances precisely as it is. I didn’t want to…

    Positive Attachment

    The first 18 months of life is filled with amazing and rapid changes for parents and infants across every aspect of human development. At the stage of infancy the influence of a positive attachment can enrich an infant’s behavioural development (Peterson 2010, pp.140-150). Erikson (cited in Peterson 2010, p.51) theorises that to mould a positive attachment an infant must achieve a balance of the psychosocial stage of ‘trust versus mistrust’. The achievement of this stage combined with the infant’s environment, social arena, and how infants see themselves as individuals is dependant on a positive attachment. With an understanding of Erikson’s theory and knowledge of attachment principals a nurse can help parents achieve this stage of infancy. This essay will concentrate on the correlation between Erikson’s theory and what achieves a positive attachment with infants. Also how a nurse’s intervention can help parents adapt methods to achieve a positive attachment with their infant.…

    Never Let Me Go

    In Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro the major themes in this book is hope, and free will. Hope plays as a symbol and feeling of freedom for the characters. Their curiosity is what causes their confidence to one day be free, but then is let down when having to face the truth that their life is set for them and that they must accept it. Free will is shown that clones are unable to change their fates as organ donors, but their lack of free will affects many other elements of their lives as well. For example, Ruth never achieves her dream of working in an office, and Kathy gets precious little time with Tommy. Ishiguro is ambiguous about where this lack of free will comes from because Ruth never tries to work in an office, we never learn whether her unhappy life is due to the system or her own lack of initiative.…

    The Importance of Attachment

    Early Relationships play an important role in the development of children’s behaviours. Building relationships as early as possible is very important. One way of doing this is bonding. This happens in very early infancy and is critical to growth and development. Parents need to be aware of the importance of interacting and communicating with their baby from the earliest days. Bonding early shapes how the brain develops, this will later determine their health and wellbeing. This bonding will help them to be able to adapt to their surrounding and this will also impact on their ability to form positive relationships. For some children that are in care or from difficult families, their attachments may not be formed as easily as those who do not have the same circumstances. There are many theories that have evidence supporting bonding and attachment.…

    Holding on

    The human mind holds thoughts and ideas that sometimes interfere with its acceptance of truth. Sir Francis Bacon calls these hindering ideas “idols” in his work: Idols Which Beset Men’s Minds because people tend to hold onto these flawed ideas even when faced with other possibilities. Charles S. Peirce tells us in The Fixation of Belief that people do not just hold onto a belief, they hold onto it with an unyielding stubbornness. This stubbornness hinders the mind from accepting or pursuing new truth. These human tendencies to persist in a belief, defined by Bacon and Peirce, are illustrated in Bertolt Brecht’s play, Galileo.…

    Love and Affection

    Four months ago, Microsoft released Window8, a complete rethinking of the interaction between humans and computers. As a paradigm shift, the only real comparison is when Apple introduced the iPhone, moving the world from clunky Soviet-style mobile interfaces to the colorful, responsive touch screens we have today. Of course, Apple had the advantage of not having to support 20 years of legacy code. An astonishing feat of engineering, but a giant boulder Microsoft feels compelled to push up a hill. And such robust backward compatibility comes at a price. The biggest problem with Windows 8 is every version of Windows that came before it. Why Microsoft is all but required to support programs written when Bill Clinton was an obscure southern governor, you have to look at the Redmond Company’s install base. Microsoft's Business division is worth $24 billion and the Server and Tools division brings in $18.7 billion. Those two divisions represent more than half of Microsoft's total revenue — almost all of it from corporate America. And those numbers don't even include Windows dollars. Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, has boasted that there are 670 million computers running Windows 7, and every one of them is a potential Windows 8 upgrade.…

    Dreams and Hope

    Lennie, one of the major characters in Of Mice and Men that has hopes and dreams of his own that keep him motivated. When George talks about the dream ranch Lennie gets really excited about it even though he has heard it a thousand times. Lennie finds that having the “dream ranch” repeated to him, soothes his mind and makes him feel happy. Also, it allows him to have something to look forward to. Many times during the book Lennie mentions taking care of rabbits. Lennie likes the fact that he will be able to have something to take care of and that they will be his own. Also, letting him know that he will tend the rabbits work as an incentive for him not to get in trouble, the quote “But you ain’t going to get in no trouble, because if you do, I won’t let you tend the rabbits” (Steinbeck, 1993, 16) said by George, proves that Lennie will try to stay out of trouble as much as he can. Having a patch of alfalfa to feed to his rabbits is just another way to keep Lennie’s mind on working hard, and to keep him thinking about the ranch so he doesn’t get in trouble. Having a patch of alfalfa reinforces to Lennie that he will someday be living on the dream ranch whether he is dead or alive. Lennie soon realizes once he had killed Curley’s wife that his dreams have been crushed indefinitely. Lennie a major character had hopes and dreams that he wished would come…
