Letting Go - Part 3

Dear Whoever-It-May-Concern,

There is a very distinct difference between 放下 and 放开. You may be 放得下, but not 放得开.
There's this little bug inside your tummy seeking for the true definition of letting go. What is letting go?
To let go does not mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off. It's the realization that I can't control another.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which mean the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not try to change or blame another. Its to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fic, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allowe another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle, arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.
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 shortcomings 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.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is fear less and to love more.
:)
Love, P
