Love Means Each Person Is Free To

The Lesson I Was Learning Involved The Idea That I Could Feel Compassion For People Without Acting On It.

Letting Go Means We Stop Trying To Force Outcomes And Make People Behave. It Means We Give Up Resistance To The Way Things Are, For The Moment. It Means We Stop Trying To Do The Impossible-controlling That Which We Cannot-and Instead, Focus On What Is Possible-which Usually Means Taking Care Of Ourselves. And We Do This In Gentleness, Kindness, And Love, As Much As Possible.

Today I Will Stop Trying To Control My Relationships. I Will Participate At A Reasonable Level And Let The Other Person Do The Same. I Can Let Go, Knowing That The Relationship Will Find Its Own Life-or Not-and That I Don't Have To Do All The Work, Only My Share.

Love Yourself Just As You Are.

Codependents Are Reactionaries. They Overreact. They Under-react. But Rarely Do They Act. They React To The Problems, Pains, Lives, And Behaviors Of Others. They React To Their Own Problems, Pains, And Behaviors.
