You can have anything you want, providing you first let go of wanting it.
We can have peace if we let go of wanting to change the past and wanting to control the future.
The more miserable you get, the less you should look for an escape (socializing, entertainment). Rather, isolate until you see and let go of the reason for it, or move into your real Self. Never let go of - through escape from misery - a good opportunity to grow.
I was letting go and undoing the hell I had created. By squaring all with love, trying to love rather than trying to be loved, and by taking responsibility for all that was happening to me; finding my subconscious thought and correcting it, I became freer and freer, happier and happier.
Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, 'This is something I have to let go of,' and immediately you will feel better.
