Time to let go

It is time to let go of your preconceived ideas of how things should be now, of how people should be, of how you should be, and just simply be. Accept who you are, accept others for who they are, accept that you are all human and you are all on a steep learning curve.

You rise, you fall, and you learn, you forget, you are strong, you weaken a little. Do you not know that this is all a part of the game of lie? It just is. Moment by moment, day by day, your life evolves. It is not static; it is not one straight line that you follow unerringly and without question, without at times becoming distracted, thrown off course. You trip and fall sometimes and then you get back up and begin again, a little wiser for the experience.

If you lose the notion of perfection and instead accept the perfection in the experiences that have and will continue to shape you, you will enjoy a much richer experience of life.

When others fall on their journey, do you leave them there, or do you step in to support them to rise again? Then why do you not do this for yourself? Why do you fight yourself every step of the way – berating yourself, feeling guilty or angry with yourself if you make a ‘mistake’? Have the grace to give the best of yourself to yourself as you do for others.

Take off the self-imposed pressure, release the self-imposed chains that bind you and accept that you are doing the best you can do in your current circumstances and that in this moment it is enough.

Most of all renew your faith that all is well although on the surface it may not appear to be so. When you look back on your current situation with the benefit of hindsight you will understand the hidden gifts. For now, simply accept that you are doing the best you can and let go of all expectation and replace it with hope, faith and trust and allow yourself to be guided.
