Letting Go Takes Love

[jonny87]

I found this today, and I think it's appropriate for this forum. Although it's hard for me to let go of a certain someone, I know that whatever happens if I do let go, whether I get a second chance or not, I'll be happier than I am now.

 

 

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 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'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 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 destinies.

To let go is not to be protective,

it's 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 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 criticize or regulate anybody,

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

Remember: The time to love is short

If only those words could resonate thru my mind when I wake up every morning when he is the first thing on my mind.

 

I'm going to have to meditate on this one.

Thank you

I go through days like that too.

 

Letting go is hard, but must be done.

Great find!

 

It's not a matter of letting go, it is a matter of being honest with yourself and believing in yourself.

 

All's we can do as human beings is take one day at a time. We will all have our good days and our not so good days, and yes each of one of us will have our share of those horrible days.

 

 

There may be laughter around us and always we feel like doing is crying, but we have to force ourselves to believe that everything happens for a reason.

We may not know what that reason is at this time, but why not take advantage of this time and figure out that there is good in store for us somewhere along the path.

 

It is those darkest days that I find so much support here in LS.

 

Just keep believing in yourself and you will realize day by day that you are so much stronger then you thought as you have made it to this day.

 

If you have been wronged by someone as many of have, let the powers that be take care of the matter.

 

Trust me the best revenge is letting that other person see you living and looking good. Kill them with kindness if you can. I can't yet but I do make sure I look great when I see him, and it pains him everytime!!!!!

 

Good luck to all!
