How do you react when your world is rocked?

I saw a meme recently that said, “Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go.” It reminded me of the divorce that happened in my life several years back. When confronted with a partner who didn’t want to be married anymore, I was shocked to hear the words, “Well, this was never about ownership” come out of my mouth.

Recently, when talking with a long-time, very dear friend, we talked about her words when something similar happened in her life. She said, “let’s find a way to hold on to the life we’ve built.”

Her reaction was the opposite to mine – I didn’t want to be with someone who didn’t want me, and she didn’t want to let go of the person and the life they had built together. Which was is the right way to deal with having your world rocked?

Both.

What is right for one person isn’t for another, and you get to decide and define how you want your world to be. Sometimes holding on does do more damage than letting go, and sometimes holding on through a rough patch creates a deeper, more substantial relationship.

Next time something rocks your world, trust yourself to know what to do. Listen to your heart – it doesn’t lie to you.
