Letting Go

Letting go does not mean to stop caring;

it means I can't do it for someone else.

Letting go is not to cut myself off;

it's the realization I can't control another.

Letting go is not to enable;

but to allow learning from natural consequences.

Letting go is to admit powerlessness;

which means the outcome is not in my hands.

Letting go is not to try and change or blame another;

it's to make the most of myself.

Letting go it not to care for;

but to care about.

Letting go is not to fix;

but to be supportive, not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.

Letting go is not to be in the middle of arranging the outcome;

but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

Letting go is not to be protective;

it's to permit the another to face reality.

Letting go is not to deny;

but to accept.

Letting go is not to nag, scold, or argue;

but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

Letting go is not to adjust everything to my own desires;

but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

Letting go is not to criticize and evaluate anybody;

but to try and become what I dream I can be.

Letting go is to not regret the past;

but to grow and live for the future.

Letting go is to fear less and live more.
