To Let Go Takes Love - Surrender

  • To surrender means not to be protective of others.
    It's to let our loved ones face their own reality.

  • To surrender means to stop trying to control others.
    It's to use my energy to become what I dream I can be.

  • To surrender is not to regret the past.
    It's to grow and live for the future.

  • To surrender is to stop denying.
    It's to become more accepting of reality.

  • To surrender does not mean to stop caring.
    It means I can't do it for someone else.

  • To surrender means I cannot enable any longer.
    It means I have to allow others to feel their own consequences.

  • To surrender means to stop being in the middle of the arranging of events.
    It's to allow others to impact their happenings.

  • To surrender is to be unwilling to adjust my schedule to everyone else's.
    It's to take full responsibility for me.

  • To surrender is to fear less and give up guilt and inadequacy.
    It's to love and accept both myself and others more.
