Just found this, and thought it might be useful for those on this board who really want to let go of their pain but maybe don't know what that means....I know I struggle with this even now, from time to time. I hope it's useful. I posted this on another thread, too, but thought it might be useful as a thread on its own.
LET 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 is to make the most of myself...
To let go is not to judge but to allow another to be human...
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 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 cherish myself in it...
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anybody but to try and become what I dream to 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...
Love and light,
Jacky
