I posted this several months ago. I have an ISM (incredibly short memory) and need to read and hear these things over and over again. I did not write this, so any references to "I" or "me" are someone else. Sit back, read and remember ...
There are people who can walk away from you. When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
Don't try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you.
When people can walk away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth
...LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
... LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship
....LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves ... LET IT GO!!!
For a recovering alcoholic, the ability to LET IT GO can mean the difference between life and death. It certainly can be the difference between being happy or continuing to be miserable.

Wow, I needed to read this. Funny, I didn't see it when I stopped by your blog yesterday. I wish my ex would read it too. *sigh*. I think I'll borrow it and put it on my blog too, at some point. Thank you so much.
