Detach


God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, 
the courage to change the one I can, 
and the wisdom to know it's me.  
~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from 
"The Serenity Prayer" by Reinhold Neibuhr


Detach
It's time to let go of all the worry, the frustration, the anxiety and the uneasiness about a situation.  You have done everything in your power and at this point, you need to let those feelings go.  Holding on to them, trying to control them is not working for you.  What will work is detaching yourself from the situation.  When you give space, you are giving the necessary room for life to come in and make it better.  When you hold on to tight, you can squeeze something to the point where there is nothing left.  Rather, if you let it go, it will either fix itself and be greater or remove itself from you completely.  Either way, the only way to truly feel at peace is to disconnect.  Go ahead and try it.  You will find the balance and rest you have been craving.
