"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." "It helps to remember that those who live in ignorance are doing far more harm to themselves than to you or anyone else. You improve the world by working on your own practice and responding with compassion rather than anger." |
