on 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 may 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 effect their 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 criticize and 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 love more

Thank you for the wonderful reminder!! I am printing these out and sticking on my mirror as a daily reminder. Sometimes I need to read these often before I "get it".

The other lesson I need to learn is how to "let go" and not "take back" again later. I tend to yo-yo too much.

It's thinking I let go, really meaning to let go, and darn sure I really did let go....and then revisiting the issue. It's a long hard lesson that is well worth learning....to just trust and let go.

I have just one thing to add. DO NOT "let go" of your pudding spoon near your keyboard. Eyeeeew.

Great post, Pie!
