Great article and explanation of what it means to let go and why it is hard. We all want to feel safe and avoid feeling helpless. Our attempts to control the outcome of a situation or the actions of another person are attempts to avoid the uncertainty and unpredictably of life.

The harder we try, the more frustrated we get because we cannot actually control anything except our own actions. Our actions don’t always produce the results we want, either. Letting go is accepting that and learning to go with the flow and adapt to life as it is as opposed to how we want it to be.
