TO LET GO & BELIEVE....

To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else. It is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another. It is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences. It is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands. It is not to try to change or blame another, it's to make the most of myself. It is not to care for, but to care about. It is not to fix, but to be supportive. It is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. It 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. It 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.

To believe... is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen and dreams really do come true.
To believe... is to see Angels dancing among the clouds, to know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.

It is to know the value of a nurturing heart, the innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. It is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.

It is to know we are not alone, that life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it. To believe... is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, and all our hopes and dreams are within reach. If only we can let go and believe.
