... let go ...

In the midst of my storm... i was lazily browsing thru and i happen to "click" on this article about "Letting go of Uncontrollables & Unchangeables"... Coincidence nga naman... Or Faith nudging you to be so... Here's the gist of it...

It's the admission of the obvious truth... that you are not responsible to affect a change or correct a problem which is beyond your competency, power, authority, or responsibility...

Releasing over-responsibility - giving permission to yourself to be free from an overresponsible sense of obligation, duty, or requirement to make everything "perfect'' in your life and the life of others....

No perfectionism - Allowing yourself to rid yourself of the perfectionistic need to control every aspect of your life so that nothing goes ``wrong'' in it.

Getting rational about what you can and cannot do - becoming realistic about what is and is not your obligation or duty to correct, change, or control.

Realistic acceptance of loss - after fully grieving a loss admitting that there is nothing left to be done but to accept the loss and hand the loss from this point on over to your Higher Power's care and love.

Surrender: Problem solving conclusion - culmination of extensive problem solving, brainstorming, and testing alternatives with the final conclusion that you can do nothing to change the circumstances of the issue out of your reach and control and that it would be saner and more realistic to free your energy up by surrendering and letting go of the issue and handing it over to your Higher Power.


*SIGH*
I'm just tired...
But I have made up my mind...
Waiting for the Numbness to pass... Or embracing it for comfort...
