Although letting go seems simple and easy, it’s ultimate effects are profoundly powerful.
We can picture it being similar to the wheel of a ship. If we make even a one-degree change in the compass, we will notice little difference, but that change will end up taking us to a very different place many miles from our original course.

Notice and accept what your feelings are about a situation, and then proceed to clear them as a priority rather than indulge them emotionality. Go within yourself and acknowledge negative feelings as they arise. Let them come up without suppressing them and without venting them. Then shift your attention from the feelings to something else. Let the feelings be there and let them go.

Everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the beauty and harmony of the world by showing kindness to all living things.
That which we freely give to life flows back to us because we are equally part of that life. Like ripples on the water, every gift returns to the giver.

Love illuminates the essence of and, therefore, the lovability of others. This is because love opens the heart.
The mind thinks and argues, but the heart knows and continues…The mind can be critical and disagree, but the heart is loving no matter what. The heart does not put any conditions on what’s out there. Only the mind does that. Love makes no demands.

more details about the passage: Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender pg. 180.
In acceptance, we enjoy the experience of harmony. We feel as though events are flowing. We feel secure. We can be of service to others without a feeling of self-sacrifice. There is the feeling: “I’m okay,” You’re okay,” and “It’s okay.” It’s a feeling of belonging, connectedness, fullness, loving, understanding, and the feeling of being understood. It is a feeling of caring, warmth, and self-worth. Because of the security of this state, we can allow ourselves to be soft, mellow and natural. There is a joy, and we feel “in tune” and relaxed. There is the feeling that it’s all right just to be ourselves.
…There are many pathways that carry us to the state of Acceptance, and this is the gateway which leads eventually to the next highest states, described as the consciousness levels of love and peace. To many people who have been surrendering for periods of time, this ultimate objective progressively supersedes all others. To dwell in states of unconditional love and imperturbable peace becomes the inner aim, more important than any other achievement.
