Let go and trust has been somewhat of a mantra for me over the past few months. This "mantra" is helping me get through worries about family members, anxiety about my new career path, and everything else that life brings to the table. It isn't easy for me to let go of thoughts, ideas, or plans because I like to plan, I like to know what is going to happen and how it will happen. The trouble that tends to come with the need to control circumstances, is that often times the Universe has something in store for us that is more amazing than we ever could have planned. The more I allow myself to let go and trust, the more open I am to receive the love and gifts that are available. There is so much beauty in this process of trusting. It's not lazy or passive, it's about having faith. I have to remind myself of this occasionally. I don't think of myself as a lazy person; I enjoy working, being active, constantly learning new things and being engaged in projects. BUT, there is a time to rest, to nourish my spirit and allow the Universe to guide me. Trusting that my efforts and intentions are not lost by letting go.
