Let Go
* To 'let go' does not mean to stop caring; it means I can't do it for someone else.
* To 'let go' is not to cut myself off; it is the realisation that not all people are bad.
* To 'let go' is to admit powerlessness which means the outcome is not in my hands.
* To 'let go' is not to be protective; it is to permit another to face reality.
* To 'let go' is not to deny, but to accept.
* To 'let go' is not to argue, but instead to search out my own short comings and correct them.
* To 'let go' is not to criticise and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I was meant to be.
* To 'let go' is not to regret the past; but to grow and to live for the future.
* To 'let go' is to fear less and love more.
I Am No Longer A Victim
I am no longer a victim
I have always hated that word!
I am now a survivor.
The road from one to the other was a long journey -
one which had no end, only new beginnings.
A victim lives in fear.
A survivor endures.
A victim is weak and powerless,
paying for what was not her doing.
A survivor has grown strong
because she knows the price is not hers to pay.
The sin is not hers to atone.
The universe will extract the price from the right person
on the day when no lie can be told.
So do not call me a victim.
I have always hated that word.
~L. M. Courtney~
