To Let Go Takes Love

My therapist went over this with us in my last session and although I already understood this I felt that it may help a new person.


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 is
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 is 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 is 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 to 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 criticize or 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.
