With 2007 behind us….I found this very appropriate….Let go and move forward!
To Let Go
Does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can’t do it for someone else.
Is not to cut myself off,
it’s the realization I can’t control another.
Is not to enable,
but to allow learning from natural consequences.
Is to admit powerlessness,
which mean the outcome is not in my hands.
Is not to try to change or blame another,
it’s to make the most of myself.
Is not to care for, but to care about.
Is not to fix, but to be supportive.
Is not to judge, but to allow another to
be a human being.
Is not to be in the middle arranging
all the outcomes,but to allow other to affect their destinies.
Is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.
Is not to deny, but to accept.
Is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings
and correct them.
Is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it.
Is not to criticize and regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
Is not to regret the past
but to grow and live for the future.
Is to fear less, and to love more.
