Letting Go
A friend sent this my way. I have passed it on to several clients. I wonder if it will resonate with you as well:
To “let go” does not 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 realisation 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 let another be a human being.
To “let go” is not to be in the middle, arranging all the
outcomes, but allow others to effect their own destinies.
To “let go” is not to be protective,
it’s to permit another to face reality.
To “let go” is not to deny, but to accept.
To “let go” is not to nag, scold, or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings
and correct them.
To “let go” is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish
myself in it.
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 love more.
