Let Go
If you met me 3 years back, you would have known that I had made plan for every single year of my life, my personal milestones were like rocks and my entire being was a slave to load them and place them at the exact time and moment in my life. All this was a cover up for all that was not in my control and hence, more control on things that I could control. Result? Extreme frustration and more control.
Then something snapped inside me and like divine light entering the dark corners of my mind, spring cleaning the cob web, I realized that the only thing I need to, and must control is ME.
And I did that. I took a decision to revamp and better this one person and her circumstances and situation..and my patient, responsibility, liability and asset was ME.
Toughest thing to do, when things go wrong is to "Let Go". How hard we try and plan and force and snatch and nail and prove..Why? Does it help? No!
Consider what we’re doing when we plan our day, our week, our year: we are trying to exert control over life, and predict with our plans the course our lives will take today, this week, this year.
We are saying: this is what I’m going to do today. This is how things will go. If I get these things done, life will be good. This is my idea of what this day will hold.
Now consider this: we have absolutely no idea if any of this is true. We cannot predict the future with any kind of certainty, and the idea that we can plan based on these shaky predictions is a nice fiction, but a fiction nonetheless. We do not know what will happen today, much less the rest of the week or month. Knowing what will happen this year? What a crock!
What can we do instead of trying to predict what will happen, instead of planning? Learn to embrace uncertainty, and be open to change. Learn to let go of control, and surf the ever-changing wave. Let unpredictability rule, let randomness be the force of our life, let spontaneity be the rule.
Idea is to have the right intention, to propel it with faith and hope, and to do your best and then..LET GO.
Whatever you ask with a clean mind, a smile and good intention, would come to you, in divine time..All you need to do is embrace freedom and wear your attitude well.
I am trying..to Let Go!
Cheers!
