and not squabble with destiny.

to let go is to admit powerlessnesz
which means the outcome is not in my hands.

it is to make the most of myself.

but to care about.

to let go is not to fix
but to be supportive.

to let go is not to be protective
its 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 shortcming 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.

but to grow and live for the future.

to let go is to fear less
and love more.
