Think of letting go as stepping back from your personal needs to see the larger picture. Imagine the reality that both you and the other person are two separate people with diverging needs, genetics, life experiences, and perspectives, both whole and capable. It takes time for this intellectual understanding to seep into your heart until nonattachment becomes natural. It’s from this place of separateness that you can fully see yourself and others as the unique individuals that you and they are. This is honoring and loving them.
