You think that if things don’t go the way you imagined they would, if they don’t go as you planned, as expected, that you have somehow failed Dear One, or done something wrong.  But the truth is that that is just not the case.

Your expectations are a reflection of what you know. Your experience is a reflection of what is possible.   And those are two things are dramatically different from one another.

What is possible Dear One, is so much greater than what you know.

And if you want change to happen, if you want to grow, and move beyond what is known to you, beyond your expectations into the realm of what’s possible, then you must begin to let in, allow, and experience without resistance, the unknown.

If you constantly meet the unexpected with judgment, perceive it as wrong, and feel disappointment, dismay, distress, or disbelief when things don’t go as you anticipated, then all change, big or small, will always feel like a struggle to you.

So the next time things don’t go as expected, the next time things don’t go according to plan, instead of cursing it, judging it, or railing against what is, try to be open to it, embrace it, celebrate it and get excited if you can, because when that happens Dear One, when you are no longer aware of exactly what it is that is going to happen next, that is the moment when anything can happen, where anything is possible.

And if you allow yourself to experience it as such, there is no more exhilarating place that you could ever possibly be.

It is understandable Dear One, for you to fear change, for you to be frightened, nervous, or hesitant about the idea of moving from what is known into what is unknown.

But what if we told you that by moving forward, and embracing change, you would actually be doing the exact opposite?

What if we told you that by pursuing your passions, trusting your instincts, taking the leap, and letting change in, you would be stepping back into a very familiar place, a place that is more you than any other place could be, a place that is made up of the energy that created you, that you were born into, and have spent all of eternity in?

The truth is Dear One, that more you trust yourself, the more you let go, the more you allow yourself to follow your heart and to change, to move from what is known to what is unknown, the more at home you will feel, the more at home you will be.

If letting go is a struggle for you Dear One, if you are finding it difficult or nearly impossible to let go of something that you know is no longer serving you, don’t do it.

Don’t let it go.

Struggling, forcing, or pushing yourself to do something that you are not ready to do, or give up something that you are not ready to give up, will never work, no matter how hard you try.

Instead, make a decision to focus your attention elsewhere, on something that you believe will serve you well, on something that is wanted, welcomed, and desired.

If you can’t let go Dear One, don’t.

Simply make the decision to allow something else to become more important.

The end result will be the same.
