Letting Go
It's almost as if life works out right when I focus on how I feel and not worrying about where I'm heading. It sounds crazy, but every time I've gone with no expectations and an open agenda, the universe has rarely failed to please.
I am free to live my life without preset expectations and fully be in the present moment. There isn't the stressing about the particulars of where I'm headed or how things are going to pan out. I'm unencumbered by unnecessary barriers to what comes my way. The way is smoother and seems to be an effortless flow of life.
I used to think that this was such a totally impractical way to live. In time, however one of the beautiful things that I've come to realize is that maybe an easy way to experience and see things more beautifully is to expect nothing and yet be open to everything without constraint. To let life surprise me without the binding of my own thoughts and worries.
When I let go of rigid expectations, it's not that I'm blocking myself off from new experiences. Rather, I make way for new opportunities. Such a mentality shift has allowed me to savor unexpected joys and opportunities that I would not have seen otherwise.
The trick is to trust the process and let things flow accordingly. That way, life was always so much easier and better. Letting go may not always be easy, but this has always shown me how it can actually become so liberating.
It's funny, a lot of great surprises do seem to show themselves most often when I do let go of worry and leave my heart open. It's a simple concept but made such a difference in my life.
