I wish you the ability to let go, the
ability to allow yourself to allow life to do its thing
without you attempting to control the outcomes of everything
that goes on around you. I hope that you always will be
able to recognize the situations over which you truly have no
control, and try to let them be, accepting the outcomes as
they are, and not judging them based on what you wanted them
to be.

| Many
people go through lives trying to control people and situations,
though they're rarely aware of just what they're doing. For
many, this behavior is the result of some sort of childhood drama,
such as a parent's alcoholism, a family's poverty, or an absent
parent, among many other things. They don't realize that
they're trying to control others, making others feel
uncomfortable, and they don't realize that so much of their own
unhappiness results from their consistent failure to control
situations on their own terms. |

I
wish you the ability to see when attempts to control are
appropriate, and when things are best left alone. I wish you
the ability to allow things to occur without your input; sometimes
our most important contribution is simply to observe. We can
support and love without telling others what to do, without trying
to help them in every facet of their lives; we must let others
learn in their own ways and make their own mistakes if they're to
become the people that God meant them to be. Just as we
don't accompany our children to every single class in school that
they attend, we don't need to be there to guide them through every
one of life's lessons.

There
are things that we never want to let go
of, people we
never want to leave behind.
But keep in mind that
letting go isn’t the end
of the world; it’s the
beginning of a new life.
