Let Go

A friend of mine shared this with me, so I thought I would share it as well.

To "Let Go" doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.

To "Let Go" is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another.

To "Let Go" is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To "Let Go" is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To "Let Go" is not to try to change or blame another, it's to make the most of myself.

To "Let Go" is not to care for, but to care about.

To "Let Go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To "Let Go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

To "Let Go" is not to be in the middle of arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

To "Let Go" is not be be protective, it's to permit another to face reality.

To "Let Go" is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.

To "Let Go" is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To "Let Go" is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To "Let Go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.

To "Let Go" is to fear less, and to love more.
