As humans, we are not created to give up. We love to take on challenges, win, be chosen and be accepted. However, the honest truth is that you cannot win every battle, overcome every challenge, always win, always be chosen or always be accepted.
So, learn to let go. It’s okay to fail, be dropped, be rejected and lose. Sometimes we don’t understand this and hold on to things that have left, died, or don’t belong to us.
We end up losing ourselves in the process, becoming consumed with negative emotions, and sometimes trying to get even or do the unthinkable.
The truth is, there is honour in letting go. It makes you a better person and at the right time, life will smile at you. Some men have lost their lives because they refused to let go, and some women have lost their identity because they don’t want to let go.
They forget that when a relationship is dead, there is nothing much left to do than to let go or bury it. This is one of the reasons Dr. Bawumia was hailed recently for conceding early after the election.
Instead of getting angry at those who dropped Stonebwoy, understand that it’s okay to be dropped. It’s not the end of life. What’s the essence of being on the stage with people who don’t want you there? He has dignity and should keep that with honour without feeling bitter or angry. This is not NDC and NPP or politics, this is life.
In conclusion, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: … a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away – Ecclesiastes 3:1, 6.
