I’m learning that it’s ok to let things go—the battles, the worrying, the analyzing, the calculating, the trying to control outcomes.
Sometimes it feels like I’ve been holding my breath for decades, inspecting every moment for cracks in the dam so I can rush to repair it before it breaks apart and sweeps away everything that I count on.
But I realize more and more, that it’s time to practice letting this job go. It wasn’t a realistic endeavor anyhow, no matter how meaningful and sincere my intention was.
Safety has to begin inside me. I can’t control circumstances. But when I’m steady and centered inside myself, I’m able to respond as the best version of myself.
