Letting Go Versus Giving Up

"There's an important difference between giving up and letting go." ~ Jessica Hatchigan

I love this quote because it recognizes a subtle difference that can change an experience for us. For instance, perhaps you have a family member who just can't seem to get it together to help you. If you give up on this family member, you may say as you throw up your hands in exasperation, "I give up!  I don't know what else to do to get you to help. I just give up!"
