What do these sayings mean to you?

“Learning to save one’s life might mean letting it go” What does this really say to you? Can you relate to it? To me, it’s saying, if you’re willing to learn anything about life, maybe that includes being able to let go. If your friend or pet or family member dies, maybe saving it from having to hang onto you in the past could be letting go. In other words, maybe instead of dwelling in the past, learning to let go is what truly saves them
What about this one.
“Sometimes being strong means being able to let go.” To me, this one is saying, being strong is letting go. What hurts make you stronger, and letting it go is what mend your hurt. my yoga instructor speaks about one of the warrior poses, and says, “look into the past and see it, now stretch into the future and reach for a new beginning” To me,yoga is about your strength. Keeping your control through the pain is strengthening your resistance to pain and hurt, physically and mentally. Yoga seems to speak out to me for this second quote. How about you?
