“The feeling of relinquishing responsibility to someone else, letting him take control, was a relief beyond words.”

“When we look to God as provider, we are surrendering our independence and trusting someone else to meet our needs, over which we have no control. Letting go of our ‘dependence on independence’ and letting someone else take control goes against natural human instinct. We need to fight the urge to take over and just let God be God, because He can provide for us better than we can.”

“And knowing that the only alternative to your grief is the nothingness that’s fast approaching, you try to embrace your own sorrow, to be open and empty and let it all pass through you. This is the key, you have learned – to relinquish control, to relinquish the desire for control. Even in this late drama, to try to control is to go mad. And so you do your best to let it all go.”

“Look beyond someone's eyes and to truly see their beauty ~ Hear beyond their words and listen to their heart ~ Feel beyond their body and aim to touch their soul”

“To be with someone who is stronger than you. To have him relinquish his strength.”

“You're only responsible for your own actions. You can't control how someone else reacts to what you do. You made a choice. Stand by it.”
