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 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,
it's to make the most of 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 outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to criticize, or regulate
anyone,
but to try to become what I dream I can do.
To let go is to fear less, and to love more.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. No legacy is so rich as honesty. Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Honesty
Morality may consist solely in the courage
of making a choice. Wickedness is always easier than virtue, for it takes
a short cut to everything. But over time you learn, you can't make wrong
work.
There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And your only reward is that it's easy. You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.
You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.
You always experience the consequences of your own acts. If your acts are right, you'll get good consequences; if not, you'll suffer for it.
Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences
