"Letting Go" >>>Daily Meditation<<<
Letting Go
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 is 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; I can only change 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 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 effect their own outcomes.
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 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 the moment.
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, 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 love more.
Perhaps it is letting go of a child or spouse, or a burden or sorrow, losing a loved one, or learning to live with a situation, which we just cannot change. Read this over, study it, pray for it, work the 12 steps, and you will find that letting go of your load will release a peace within you which will allow your spirit to soar..…to be free. Give it completely to God and let a work be done within you…where the need is anyway.

Thank you. I need to come back and read this daily.
My daughter has moved out in anger, defending her cousin for breaking his word and swearing and calling me names in the wake of my providing him with a cross country trip; and no matter how I twist it around, I see a choice of 1) not accepting this treatment and watching my daughter walk away or 2) apologize for, uh, what, I don't know, to keep my daughter home and happy.
I choose to let her go. There are people who worry I'm 'letting this destroy my relationship with her,' yet what relationship is there if she thinks this is acceptable? It's been 2-1/2 days, and I'm re-gaining some equilibrium and peace. Your post helps me. Thank you.
