Learning to let go is one of the hardest things to do, especially when you know you've done everything in your power to try to make things go the way you want them to. I think people have such a hard time letting go because everything after that becomes uncertain. Will it turn out ok? Or badly? When it comes to this part, I think of something a good friend said to me once: ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen? To me, the worst thing that can happen in any situation is that I will die. Hahaha. Ok, I know that is a low bar to set, but it does put into context whatever "problem" I am preoccupied with at the moment. Should I be worried to this extent, wasting this much time and energy thinking about it? If the answer is no, it means I need to rationally devise a course of action to either let go or prepare to do so.
And then what happens after that? I then think of a quote my yoga instructor told us recently.
[Paraphrasing] Hope is not praying that everything will turn out ok (which is religion <==this is my own two cents =X), but having the certainty to know that it will all make sense.
