Let go, Let God

It has been a while since I have been able to post and it has been bothering me. I remember it every time that I talk to one of my clients about letting something go. If you can’t control something, change it, or like me do it, try to let it go. Usually it is easier said than done but as most of the time it is progress rather that perfection what I preach and practice. Most people ask me, what do you mean by “letting go”? so I thought I would collect some quotes that explain the concept in a few words. I like some of them more than others but I’d let you pick your own. Ah…and if you want to go a step further, pick one of these that applies to you and work on it this week. I really believe that when we are able to let go things start happening in our lives.
