Letting go takes Love
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 a realization I can’t control another.

But allowing learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness;
Which means the outcome is not in my hands.

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 allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging the outcomes;
But to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective;
It’s to permit others 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 adjust everything to my desires;
But to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticise or regulate anybody;
But to try to become what I dream I can be.

But to grow and live for the future.
