I've seen this posted before, but just some thoughts to carry this soul:

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 I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but 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 destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's 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 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 criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

[Ms. Tabitha]

May you always have work for your hands to do
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you

Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. - Sally Koch

[2myladyblue]

Night, on a blanket
that smells faintly of dog
we shed our clothes
and lie in our skins, breathing.
The taste of your mouth is the first moment
home after a journey.

When I close my eyes, the stars
approach, opening
filmy auroras
pink, yelow, and blue
like first thoughts
of the sky
imagining
you.

[Ms. Meander]

Whoever said anybody has a right to give up?

Study yourself. Find your strong points and make them stronger
as well as your weak ones and strengthen them. Study yourself
carefully and you will see yourself as you really are.
Theron Q. Dumont

[Spirit Dancer]

Only by much searching and mining, are gold and diamonds obtained, and people
can find every truth connected with their beings, if they will dig deep into the mine
of their souls; and that they are the makers of their character, the molders of their
lives, and the builders of their own destinies, they may unerringly prove, if they will
watch, control, and alter their thoughts, tracing their effects upon themselves, upon
others, and upon their lives and circumstances, linking cause and effect by patient
practice and investigation, and utilizing their every experience, even to the most
trivial, everyday occurrence, as a means of obtaining that knowledge of themselves
which is Understanding, Wisdom, Power.

James Allen
