Letting Go ~ Anonymous:

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 to 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 of arranging 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.

It’s a must to let go:

One of the hardest things to do in the human experience is to let go. Letting go sets you free and doesn’t keep you enslaved to whatever it is you cannot let go of. Letting go of belief systems is one of the hardest to let go of. Our egos want to be right, so we debate, argue, and get pissed, thus giving our energy away instead of accepting that it isn’t necessary to win a debate, get your point across, and let go.

Material objects are something that we need to let go of. Look, your great grandmother can give a rat’s ass if you still have her favorite blanket. Chances are, you have the thing tucked in a closet or perhaps even in a storage unit. For fuck sake, get rid of it unless you plan on unearthing it and wrapping it around you in your grave.

Letting go of the past is another goal. We use the past to make excuses for our behavior. Let the past go; to do that, you must forgive whoever wronged you. Yeah, your dad was a dick. However, you must get into the mindset that he did the best he could. There isn’t a handbook to refer to; perhaps he sucked in some areas, but I’m sure he was good at something. Yet, we want to focus on the negative shit, this gets us stuck and makes it impossible to let go.

Letting go is a must for your personal development.  I could go on and on with examples, but right now, I’m choosing to let go.
