Change what you can
February 12, 2017
There are times when it’s best to say whatever and times when it’s best to say enough. Be aware of the differences in these times, and be ready to say both.
Are you being abused or merely annoyed? Is your anger based on a legitimate hurt, or has someone just not lived up to your expectations? Be aware that there’s a difference. Then learn to apply the strategies, as needed, for that particular situation.
Are there any rules for knowing? No, there aren’t. You need to decide and choose what’s best for you at any given time. Trust yourself and your Higher Power. You’re wiser than you think.
Seek balance in your life. Learn when it’s time to let go, and learn when it’s time to act.
God, help me let go of situations that are out of my control and help me take action, when it’s time.
From the book: More Language of Letting Go
