About this Quote

This quote by Beatrice Potter Webb speaks with the significance of renunciation in our lives. Renunciation is the act of giving up something, whether it be a material ownership, a practice, or a point of view. By preventing renunciation, we bring suffering to ourselves and others. This is due to the fact that when we hold on to something, we are not able to progress and grow. We end up being stuck in our ways and unable to accept modification. Renunciation is a tough concept to accept, however it is needed for our individual growth and development. It permits us to let go of the important things that no longer serve us and to include brand-new experiences and opportunities. Renunciation is a powerful tool that can assist us to develop a much better life for ourselves and those around us.
