The day we walk away from things that hurt our soul,
Our soul sprouts wings.

The walking away in this quote is leaving it all behind. Anything that crushes you, bad relationships, bad memories, bad relatives, bad jobs, anything at all that gives you grief.

Every negative thing that you carry causes harm. The suggested method of healing is to remember the lesson and let go of the hurt, anger, and resentment. Now, is that possible? Can you actually let go of all your past negative realities? 

You don't want your issues from the past negatively affecting the rest of your life, but, at the same time, you do want to remember the hurt to ensure that you recognize it when the situation presents itself again. 

Letting go doesn't necessarily mean forgetting. It is a process to get past the past, it takes time, and deciding to walk away and let it go is the start. Walk away from things and people that bring you down. You don't need it. Too many of us are experts at disrespecting ourselves, we don't need others doing it for us also. 

As you are walking away from destructive forces, take the time to show yourself some respect, as well. You can be just as harmful as anyone else with your negative messaging. Be kind to yourself, you are doing the best you can. 

The day we walk away from things that hurt our soul, our soul sprouts wings. Let today be that day!
