There Are No Knights On White Horses, No Magical Grandmothers In The Sky Watching, Waiting To Rescue Us. Teachers May Come Our Way, But They Will Not Rescue. They Will Teach. People Who Care Will Come, But They Will Not Rescue. They Will Care. Help Will Come, But Help Is Not Rescuing. We Are Our Own Rescuers. Our Relationships Will Improve Dramatically When We Stop Rescuing Others And Stop Expecting Them To Rescue Us.

Letting Go Helps Us To Live In A More Peaceful State Of Mind And Helps Restore Our Balance. It Allows Others To Be Responsible For Themselves And For Us To Take Our Hands Off Situations That Do Not Belong To Us. This Frees Us From Unnecessary Stress.

All Endings Are Inexorably Tied To New Beginnings. That's The Nature Of The Journey. It Continues To Unfold. It Builds On Itself. It Can't Help Itself From Doing That. Cherish The Moments, All Of Them. You Have Seen And Felt Much In Life So Far. But Still, The Best Is Yet To Come.

Love Means Each Person Is Free To Follow His Or Her Own Heart.
