"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?"
Mary Manin Morrissey
In releasing we learn to accept emotions, to experience them (in place of suppressing) and to realize they are our creation. Then when it is appropriate, we can let them go. This is quite different from identifying with emotions and embracing them, feeling "I am angry" integral with the ego. There's no mindfulness in that and it is far from awareness of our true self, that is always loving.

""Depending upon the kind of person you are, you will attract similar energies around you, and others will reciprocate with similar energies. Be kind, compassionate and empathetic so you can attract kindness, compassion and empathy in return. Spread love and enjoy being loved back!"
Sunetra Basu
If you are open to receive, the loving kindness that you give to others returns to you amplified. You flow to many and then many flow back to you. And the purity of your being as reflected in the selfless love that you have shared in your life, supports you in the transition to your next life.

May I examine my mind in all actions
and as soon as a negative state occurs,
since it endangers myself and others,
may I firmly face and avert it.

""I have decided to stick with love... Hate is too great a burden to bear."
Martin Luther King, Jr:
Hate, anger and resentment are heavy walls we erect, which destroy our peace of mind and limit our reach. Love has no such liabilities; it is empowering and liberating.

“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

Not at all, acceptance or 'surrender' is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.
Sometimes it it wiser to accept fully a situation than try to change it. Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and connects you to Being...Resistance is the mind.
"Accept what comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs."

To some people acceptance or surrender has negative connotations, implying defeat, giving up and so forth, but I am talking about surrendering to the now...the present moment, unconditionally and without reservation.
"Non surrender hardens your psychological form, the shell of the ego, and so creates a strong sense of separateness. The world around you and people in particular come to be perceived as threatening. The unconscious compulsion to destroy others through judgment arises, as does the need to compete and dominate. Even nature becomes your enemy and your perceptions and interpretations are governed by fear.
The mental disease we call paranoia is only a slightly more acute form of this NORMAL but dysfunctional state of consciousness.
There is something within you that remains unaffected by the transient circumstances that make up your life situation, and only through surrender do you have access to it. It is your life, your very Being-which exists eternally in the timeless realm of the present."
Eckhart Tolle

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Then we see they are perfect just as they are; like a flower, each one unique and special. Who would want such a person to be other than they are?"
Sam Keen:
We all want to receive love. But maybe it comes in a form you don't want - perhaps someone offers romantic love but that's not what you're looking for - or it doesn't come at all. Then there is heartache and helplessness; you can't make others love you if they won't.
Definitely, do what you can to get the love you need. But the practice here is about expressing love, distinct from receiving it. When you focus on the love you give rather than the love you get, then you're at cause rather than at effect; you're the cue ball, not the eight ball - which supports your sense of efficacy and confidence, as well as your mood. And it's enlightened self-interest: the best way to get love is to give it; even if it's still not returned, your love will likely improve the relationship, and help calm any troubled waters.
