What is Letting go?

You’ve heard the phrase “let go” again and again. But what does it really mean? “Let go” tells us to ACCEPT, not go into denial and hide from what is. Let go tells us to let go of our wishful thinking – let go of our desire that something is not so, and accept reality. Then, “let go” tells us to ADAPT in a manner motivated by positive principles, like love, unselfishness, and honesty. Such adaptation may involve some action on our part, but more often than not, “letting go” involves NO ACTION. Think about it. We as humans are not perfect. So taking action may only make matters worse due to our imperfections. Better to do nothing and allow the goodness of the universe to control the situation. Also, choosing to do nothing by letting someone or something be, is often the best way to work on improving ourselves - the best way to maintain our sobriety and serenity. So we let go and do not attempt to control a situation when our sobriety is our priority. And isn’t serenity and sobriety what you are ultimately trying to get and maintain?

To-do:

Today, I will meditate on the meaning of letting go. I will accept and adapt by either doing the next reasonable thing or nothing at all. I will be conscious of my motivations when I adapt. I will be conscious of any character defects of mine which may be interfering with my process of letting go and perhaps connect to HELP a Higher, Effective, Loving Power for help in this process.
