Letting Go

To "let go" does not mean to stop caring, it means I cannot do it for someone else.

To "let go" is not to cut myself off; it is the realization I cannot 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 care for, but to care about.

To "let go" is not to fix, but to allow another to be a human being.

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 affect their own 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 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.

To "let go" is to fear less and love more.

I had to share that since I like this hand out I got from counseling awhile back.

Just thought I would share it with the rest of you! Take Care, Katie B)
