Let Go and Let Grow
LETTING GO
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 outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies
To LET GO is not to be protective, but 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
LETTING GROW
LETTING GROW is allowing others to have a bad experience so that they can learn from it
LETTING GROW is refraining from negative comments even when I see a mistake being made
LETTING GROW is listening more than reacting
LETTING GROW is withholding my advice and opinions
LETTING GROW is permitting the other person to identify his own problems
LETTING GROW is giving the other person the dignity of finding his own solutions
LETTING GROW is choosing not to manipulate the outcome for someone else
LETTING GROW is refusing to be someone else's safety net so they will learn to weave their own
LETTING GROW is choosing not to manipulate the outcome for someone else
LETTING GROW is refusing to be drawn into another's problems by anger, guilt, manipulation or any other ruse
LETTING GROW is allowing the other person to have some discomfort
LETTING GROW is learning new skills and vocabulary to be practiced again and again
