Hold On or Let Go?

As my first blog, I decided to delve more on the topic brought up by @maverickfoo on his Mini Motivation #17- What goals should you be quitting on? I shared with him a poem that I hold dearly and practice in my life entitled “Don’t Quit”.

Then, @maverickfoo posted a questions on any “time limit before pulling the plug”. Told him that there is none since it is entirely up to you on how far are you willing to go or sacrifice to achieve your goal.

Then, somehow I wonder whether it also applies in love or relationship? I have this difficulty in letting go. I personally felt that if you really love the person, you will be willing to fight till the end and never quit on the relationship. When I decided to be in that relationship, I am so stubborn and willing to shut everyone else who disapprove on the relationship even my own family, friend and relatives. They say love is blind but I beg to differ, because I know what I sign up for and I am willing to go all the way because I knew and have faith on that relationship. I hold on to the relationship as long as I could and keep motivating myself and told myself that all relationship has its up and downs. But when the relationship did not work out, I have a hard time in letting go or quitting. “We fight to hold on and we fight to let go” quoted from Mareez Reyes.

But, the more I think about it, then it occurs to me that you can’t control how the other person feels about you. You may be willing to fight all the way but in a relationship, it is not entirely up to you. A relationship will not work if the other person does not want to be in that relationship.

I am still trying to digest and apply the following quotes from Dr. Steve Maraboli which I am still torn in between letting go and move on.

I guess my heart never knew when to quit. Because like they said, “..falling in love is like jumping off the cliff, your heart said you can fly, while your head said you will fall to your death..”

And then again, I stumble across the following quotes which makes me back to square one and I don’t know whether I should quit or hold on.

In conclusion, @maverickfoo, I think for me personally, it does apply in love and relationship; on not quitting. That there is no time limit, since it is entirely up to me on how far I am willing to go or sacrifice to be with the person.

Gosh, all these quotations really make me confused on which one should I apply and believe on. I need help from all those who have been through it.
