A wise unselfishness is not a surrender of yourself to the wishes of anyone, but only to the best discoverable course of action.

~ Dr. David Seabury


Letting Go

Letting go is not to stop caring—it means I can't do it for someone else.

Letting go is not to cut myself off—it's the realization that I can't control another.

Letting go is not to enable—but to allow learning from natural consequences.

Letting go is not to admit powerlessness—which means the outcome is not in my hands.

Letting go is not to change or blame another—it's to make the most of myself.

Letting go is not to fix—but to be supportive; it's not to judge—but to allow another to be a human being.

Letting go is not to be in the middle, arranging the outcome—but to allow others to effect their own destinies.

Letting go is not to be protective—it's to permit another to face reality.

Letting go is not to deny—but to accept.

Letting go is not to nag, scold, or argue—but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

Letting go is not to criticize and regulate anybody—but to try to become what I dream I can be.

Letting go is not to regret the past—but to grow and live for the future.

Letting go is to fear less and live more.
