For our peace of mind and emotional serenity, we need to keep the mechanics of our lives as simple as possible. If the spirit is to be free, it cannot be shackled by overconcern with material things. (Courage to Change, 7 August)

I can simplify my life by letting go of decisions and problems that aren't mine to handle. (Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, One More Day, 7 August)

We can learn to focus on the solution rather than on the problem, and maintain a positive attitude toward life and the inevitable flow of problems and solutions. (Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go, 6 August)
