Letting Go...a quote that's a keeper!

[RonSouther]

LETTING GO

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's 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,

I can only change 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 affect their own outcomes.

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 the moment.

To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone,

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

This is just beautiful. If everyone let go completely, the world would be totally transformed.

It's posts like these that keep me returning to this community. Some call it coincidence, others call it synchronicity; regardless, this quote completely resonates with me.

It was just yesterday that I made the decision to "let go" of a relationship with someone that mean the world to me. I've been experiencing pain like I've never felt before, despite this, the words that you just shared remind me of all the good will come about as a result of my decision. Reading this post was like having a friend whisper in my ear, "you made the right decision, everything is going to work out beautifully."

Thank you for sharing Ron.
