I’ve been trying to keep this plant alive for as long as I’ve owned it.

I bet it’s been a decade or more. Seriously.

Today, I accepted defeat, let go of the guilt that I felt about it and added it to the yard waste bin.

I feel incredibly free!

My lesson: sometimes you need to know when it’s time to stop trying and just let something go.

What things have you been trying to “keep alive”? What positive things might happen if you let go?
