| Two people on a
Beach "Good evening , friend, What are you doing ? " "I'm throwing these starfish back in the ocean. If I don't, they'll die up here." "There must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to them all. You can't possibly make a difference." She smiled, picked up yet another starfish and threw it into the sea. "Made a difference to that one!"

| LETTING GO To let go doesnt mean to stop caring, it means I cant do it for someone else. To let go is not to cut myself off, its 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 to 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 outcome, but to allow others To effect 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 to correct them. To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish the moment. To let go 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. To let go is to fear less and to love more. |
