“Writers have to get used to launching something beautiful and watching it crash and burn. They also have to learn when to let go control, when the work takes off on its own and flies, farther than they ever planned or imagined, to places they didn't know they knew.” KnowsWritingBeautifulUsedLetting GoCrashSomething BeautifulLaunching Author:Ursula K.

“Psychedelics are extraordinary tools, when used with psychotherapy, because in one day you can let go of so much, and have insight into so much.

“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.” HeartChildrenMomentsStoriesMovingUsedMotherFatherParentWaterGrowing UpLetting GoStonesSkinsAccomplishmentCoveredApprovalMother And FatherChildren Growing UpGrowing Children Book:The Five People You Meet In Heaven Source: The Five People You Meet In Heaven
“If we hold tightly to anything given to us unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used we stunt the growth of the soul. What God gives us is not necessarily "ours" but only ours to offer back to him, ours to relinguish, ours to lose, ours to let go of, if we want to be our true selves.

“Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it.

“My father once told me of a trick question he used in a college class on forest fire control. If there was a fire coming from a certain direction and wind was coming from another, what was the best thing to do? The right answer was, "Run like hell and pray for rain," but few students ever got it. So allow yourself the freedom of knowing there are times to bail out, quit, run, leave the struggle, and have more time for joy.” IfsRunningUsedJoyCertainFatherAnswersClassStruggleHellKnowingFireStudentsCollegeWindPrayingLetting GoRainQuittingTricksForestsBest ThingsThings To DoMore TimeRight AnswersBailForest Fires Author:Charlotte Sophia Kasl
