Letting Go

Salut dear friends,
Just a few lines I wish to share with you.
indigo xx


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 realization 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 arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect 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 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.

Thank you Indigo,
I have had to learn to let go of a lot of things so far in my journey and I have to say that sometimes it was so totally liberating to do so therefore to let go for me allowed me to let go of my own self made prison. Have a great day.
