make it last forever?

does anything last forever these days? i don't think so. mostly  because forever is ... well, forever. it's kind of infinite. but things can last as long as we work to make them last. but not everything is supposed to last forever. somethings need to be released, ended. i struggled last year with releasing things. it's hard sometimes. i'm sure you already know that. but it's a new year.

i don't think a new year means a new you. it's not automatic at all. you have to be intentional about things in your life. the truth is we can will/create/speak into existence the life we want. we can't control the timing all the time but we can have what we say. i know this from experience. it's not disputable. but since it is a new year, it's a good time to release things that shouldn't take up permanent residence in your life. i know it won't be easy -- i still struggle. wish i didn't but i'm always honest. i struggle. haven't quite reached my letting go point. but it won't be long.

accepting that some things do have an ending - an expiration date - is a part of growing up. i'm definitely trying to grow in that area. one step at a time. i released some things last year. i plan to put on my big girl panties and do it again until i've released the things that have no business lasting forever. and then i'm opening myself to receive all the things that are meant to last. 2012 will be epic in many ways. but lord give me the strength to let go when the time comes.
