Some situations require effort, but once we have done our part sincerely, letting go can keep us from creating more suffering for ourselves.
Separate What You Can Control
We can control our intention and actions, but not every outcome.
Complete Your Responsibility
Plan, act, review, and correct what is within your ability.
Letting Go Is Not Neglect
Letting go means releasing what is beyond our control, not abandoning responsibility.
A Dhamma Perspective
Seeing causes and conditions clearly helps the mind loosen its demand that everything must happen as we want.
What You Can Do Today
Write two lists: what you can do and what you must accept as beyond your control.
One Good Thing Today
Do what should be done well, then give your mind a little rest from the outcome.
Come Back Tomorrow to practice responsibility with a lighter heart.
