Letting Be Quotes

“Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.”
― Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life

“We should respect other people’s decisions, even if they seem bad ones to us. Perhaps, we are wrong. Perhaps, we are not wrong but the decision is necessary for the person’s growth.”
― Donna Goddard, Together

“If we learn not to grab, insist, manipulate, or force then the precious moments have more chance of just appearing, usually when we are not looking. They may even stay a little longer, if we do not grasp onto them insisting that they do not move. With practice, consistency, and commitment to the evolution of the partnership, something beautiful and meaningful has a chance of evolving.”
― Donna Goddard, Love's Longing

“It's easy to be nice to people who don't mean that much to us. But if something matters to us, we will fight to make it work in our favour. Do we even know what is in our favour?”

“Certainly, it is good for the personal self to have clear goals and a designated path to those goals.

― Donna Goddard, Circles of Separation

“My prince of my dreams will come some day and I will know that it is him. He will be someone who will love me for being what I am and let me be. And I…I will not be considering him as a medal fit for drawing room showcase; but as someone whom I can respect and adore.”
― Neelam Saxena Chandra, Tales from Venus

“The lessons of other people are between them and God. We cannot force, organise, cajole, intimidate, deceive or plead with anyone to do or know anything they do not sincerely and honestly wish for themselves. Of all people, this applies foremost to our partners and our children. Forgiveness, compassion, and letting be are spiritually vital qualities. This allows others the space to grow in their own time and in their way. Although we cannot force the issue of another’s development, being around a spiritually aware individual provides many growth opportunities.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Unlike the common misperception that relationships are to make us happy, relationships are usually more suited to make us grow. 
When we understand the educational significance of our relationships, we will consciously use them for spiritual growth. We will no longer run away from the problems we have. We will welcome the opportunity to develop further our understanding and that of the other person.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving
