I think it means, in its very simplistic form, that if you disconnect from everything that you identify as being "you" then, you can give yourself a new perspective and the ability to develop your potential. Our identities are often very important to us. They are abstract concepts which we use to define each other.
If you're able to let go and start accepting things as they are instead of how you'd like them to be, you'll find that you'll suffer less from the problems of stress, emotional ties to the past or future, frustration with others, struggles with loss, and succumbing to fear. By letting go, you'll set yourself free.
Letting go of past behaviors will help you open your mind to new lifestyles as well as new perspectives and outlooks. As you change, your perspective will change as well. Let go of old thinking and move forward to meet your goals.
