Here are 8 misconceptions and truths I have been discovering since I was given the grace to start loosening the grip over my life and others:
1- To let go doesn’t mean to stop loving or caring, it means that I realize that I can’t do it for someone else.
2- To let go is not to separate or cut myself off, its the realization that I am unable to control another.
3- To let go is not to enable, but to allow the process of learning from natural consequences to take place.
4- To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means I realize that results and outcomes are ultimately not in my hands.
5- To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality which will lead to understanding.
6- To let go is not to deny, but to accept and embrace.
7- To let go is not to regret the past or the future, but to grow and choose to live this day in the moment.
8- To let go is to be less fearful and anxious and to give myself permission to live more.
The journey continues…
