The world cannot hold onto you, for the world is not sentient. The world doesn't have a mind nor does it have desires; it is only your mind's objectivisation. It is your own mind's play which imagines that an object-call it the mind or whatever-can hold onto you. It is the idea you have of who you are that is holding onto its own fearful projections as the mind. Leave all of this and remain as the pure, joyous Self.

Mooji

I always tell myself that nothing ever is worth holding onto if it hurt you, because the longer you hold onto anger and resentment, the longer you feed it and keep it alive.

Katie Piper

I have learned to hold all things loosely, so God will not have to pry them out of my hands.

I believe managing is like holding a dove in your hand. If you hold it too tightly you kill it, but if you hold it too loosely, you lose it.

If you are inflexible in the body, look at what you are holding onto unnecessarily in your life. Release tension, and life will open up.

Tara Stiles

You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.

Adyashanti

You trap yourself sometimes, by thinking desire and need is love. Love is something far more precious, but something far more fragile. As fragile as one of our tiniest, most intricate, most delicately crafted toys. Hold on to it too tightly, and it will crumble on your fingers, but hold on to it loosely, and the wind might blow it away and shatter it on the cold ground. Listen to the voice comes from your heart, but be absolutely sure the voice comes from your heart.

Virginia C. Andrews

Celine Dion

What we don't recognize is that holding onto resentment is like holding onto your breath. You'll soon start to suffocate.

Deepak Chopra

People try to hold onto the sameness. This holding onto prevents growth.

Bruce Lee

This is how you hold onto your family. You hold them with open hands so they are free to find futures of their own. It's just that simple.

Richard Peck

Why do we hold onto negativity? For some reason, we believe that others are affected by our experience of remaining upset, hurt or angry. Holding on to pain, anger, guilt or shame is the glue that binds us to the situation we want to escape.

Iyanla Vanzant

In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you, and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry, I cry, and when you hurt, I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life.

Nicholas Sparks

The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else.

Seth Godin

When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. Sometimes it will break. At other times, it will simply die off. Then, there are those times when for no reason, it will simply fall apart. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let it go.

Iyanla Vanzant

Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.
