Sometimes I get so frustrated and incensed that I can’t
control what’s happening around me. I
try with all might to ‘make’ someone understand me or put up a fight to prevent
an outcome that’s inevitable. I
rationalize my disrespectful behavior and refuse to recognize or hear any other
opinion than my own. I hold on so
tightly, afraid of letting go. Letting
go of my beliefs about what others think of me, letting go of my need to be
right, letting go of my fear of chaos, betrayal and rejection, letting go of
expectations and judgments, letting go of my distrust of others, letting of the
illusion of control I create. I find
myself boxed into a small prison of restriction and what I think is safety
never realizing I am creating suffering for myself and others.
I am learning to breathe and to open my heart and mind. I am safe enough to release and surrender
control. I can trust the goodness I
experience surrounding me; my connection with my own enough-ness, friends who
offer acceptance and care, a higher power that remains present and sustaining. I can let it go and let it be. Today the echo of my mantra is LET IT BE.
