To Let Go
To let go...
Does not mean to stop caring
It means I cannot do it for someone else
It is not to cut myself off
It is the realization that I cannot control another.
To let go...
Is not to enable
But to allow learning from natural consequences
It 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
I can only change myself
It is not to care for
But to care about.
To let go...
Is not to fix
But to be supportive
It is not to judge
But to allow another to be a human being.
To let go...
Is not to be in the middle arranging the outcome
But to allow others to effect their own outcome
It is not to be protective
It is to permit another to face their reality.
To let go...
Is not to deny, but to accept
Is not to nag, scold, or argue
But to search out my own shortcomings
And try to correct them.
To let go...
Is not to adjust everything to my desires
But to take each day as it comes
Is not to criticize or regulate anyone
But to try to become whatever dream I can be.
To let go...
Is not to regret the past
But to grow and live for the future
Is to fear less
And learn to love more.
And since I do love you
So I will let you go!
