Today I understand why detaching with love has been difficult for me. It has taken me a long time to understand truly that there are some things I can do absolutely nothing about. My past taught me to remain in the cycle of fixing and doing. It seemed less painful to be stuck in trying than to let go and risk the pain of loneliness. What I did not know was that in letting go I would feel enormous relief and a renewed sense of
energy with which to rebuild those areas of my life that needed attention. Detaching with love is not difficult when I accept my own limitations.

There are some people, things and situations that I can do nothing about.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Oscar Wilde
