Yes, it&#8217;s important to acknowledge and<br \/>\naccept what we want and what we want to happen. But it&#8217;s equally<br \/>\nimportant to follow through by letting go. Letting go is the action<br \/>\npart of faith. It is a behavior that gives God and the Universe<br \/>\npermission to send us what we&#8217;re meant to have.<\/p>\n<p>Letting go means we acknowledge that hanging on so tightly isn&#8217;t<br \/>\nhelping to solve the problem, change the person, or get the outcome we<br \/>\ndesire. It isn&#8217;t helping us. In fact, we learn that hanging on often<br \/>\nblocks us from getting what we want and need.&nbsp; Who are we to say<br \/>\nthat things aren&#8217;t happening exactly as they need to happen?<\/p>\n<p>There is magic in letting go. Sometimes we get what we want soon after<br \/>\nwe let go. Sometimes it takes longer. Sometimes the specific outcome we<br \/>\ndesire doesn&#8217;t happen. Something better does.<\/p>\n<p>Letting go sets us free and connects us to our Source. Letting go<br \/>\ncreates the optimum environment for the best possible outcomes and<br \/>\nsolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I will relax. I will let go of that which is upsetting me the<br \/>\nmost. I will trust that by letting go, I have started the wheels in<br \/>\nmotion for things to work out in the best possible way.<\/p>\n<p>Melody Beattie<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Remember, your inner world reflects your outer world. If you believe<br \/>\nyou are not enough, you will validate that belief and create the<br \/>\nreality that you don&#8217;t have enough. On the other hand, if you believe<br \/>\nyour are plenty, you will validate that believe and create plenty of<br \/>\nabundance. Why? because &#8216;plenty&#8217; will be your root, which will then<br \/>\nbecome your natural way of being.<br \/>\nT. Harv Eker<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.<br \/>\nAlbert Einstein<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Notice the acts of kindness other people do rather that their<br \/>\nwrongdoing. This is how the loving presence views you. We are all good,<br \/>\ndecent, loving souls who occasionally get lost.<br \/>\nWayne Dyer<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, we regard discomfort in any form as bad news. But<br \/>\nfor practitioners or spiritual warriors &#8211; people who have a certain<br \/>\nhunger to know what is true &#8211; feelings like disappointment,<br \/>\nembarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear,<br \/>\ninstead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach<br \/>\nus where it is that we&#8217;re holding back. They teach us to perk up and<br \/>\nlean in, when we feel we&#8217;d rather collapse and back away. They&#8217;re like<br \/>\nmessengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we&#8217;re<br \/>\nstuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nwith us wherever we are.<br \/>\nPema Ch\u00f6dr\u00f6n<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Our life experience is a reflection of our consciousness. If we find we<br \/>\nare faced with someone who is judgmental and wants their own way, like<br \/>\nit or not, we must look for those same qualities in ourselves. If we<br \/>\nwant to change our life experience we must change ourselves. Life is a<br \/>\nmirror. It smiles back to us when we smile and frowns back at us when<br \/>\nwe frown.<br \/>\nCara Lumen <\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>The people we are in relationship with are always a mirror, reflecting<br \/>\nour own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors reflecting their<br \/>\nbeliefs. So relationship is one of the most powerful tools for<br \/>\ngrowth&#8230; if we look honestly at our relationships we can see so much<br \/>\nabout how we have created them.<br \/>\nShakti Gawain<\/p>\n<p>===== <br \/>\nPeople are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the<br \/>\nsun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed<br \/>\nonly if there is a light within.<br \/>\nElizabeth Kubler-Ross<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Distancing others does not bring detachment, but its opposite. Only<br \/>\nwhen you let others into your heart do you become capable of releasing<br \/>\nthem.<br \/>\nPaul Ferrini<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>The spiritual student is often seeking to transform, overcome, or slay<br \/>\nthe ego when all that is necessary is to simply abandon it. This<br \/>\nrequires the development of trust, faith, and confidence in the Reality<br \/>\nof God. When the seeking for gain is abandoned, life becomes relatively<br \/>\neffortless and peaceful.<br \/>\nDavid R. Hawkins<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.<br \/>\nRalph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>As you learn how to do and then drop all judgment of that doing, you will find the golden path to your own salvation.<\/p>\n<p>It is nice to know that, to a great extent, you can do it yourself. And<br \/>\nif you don&#8217;t know how to do it now, then you will evolve to where you<br \/>\ndo know how.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to know that there are infinite chances.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s nice to know that you get to create for yourself those things that you want.<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger, <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">The Way Out Book<\/span><\/p>\n<p>=====<\/p>\n<p>Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and<br \/>\nhappiness inside.
