Why is it so hard for us to accept?

So why is it so hard for us to let go or accept something, even when we know that it is the best thing for us to do in a particular context.

To understand this, I think we need to dig a little bit deeper.

• Is it because we believe that "letting go" is giving up, losing, or failing, and if we fail, then we are not good enough?
• Is it because "letting go of someone's memory" means that we do not care about them anymore?
• Is it because "letting go" means that we are irresponsible, and if we are responsible, then we should continue to keep trying?

It is only when we know why, that we can begin to validate and challenge the belief or beliefs, that hold us back from letting go, and truly accept.
