Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible-controlling that which we cannot-and instead, focus on what is possible-which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible.

Today I will stop trying to control my relationships. I will participate at a reasonable level and let the other person do the same. I can let go, knowing that the relationship will find its own life-or not-and that I don't have to do all the work, only my share.

Control is an illusion.

It's our job to first make ourselves feel better and then make ourselves feel good.

Panic, not the task, is the enemy.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
