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 and change or blame another, it is to make
the most of myself.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcome, but
to allow others to affect their own destiny.
To let go is not to be protective, It is to let another 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 then to 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
today.
To let go is to fear less and love more.
These are the instructions on how to let go. Perhaps it is letting
go of a rebellious child or a burden of sorrow, losing a loved one
or learning to live with heartache which we just cannot let go
of.
Read this over. Study it. Pray over it and you will find the
letting go of your load will allow your spirit to soar ... to be
free, to completely give it to God, and let the work be done within
you where the need is, anyway.
