Letting go doesn’t mean we don’t care. Letting go doesn’t mean we shut down.
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.
