Let go and let the Universe
Have you ever heard the saying "Let go and let the Universe"?
I am discovering while it is important for me to set goals and take the next indicated steps towards my goals it is also vital that I let go of having to have the things I desire. What I mean by letting go is releasing. Releasing feels good and freeing where hanging on and clutching feels bad. When I am "longing" for something that is not happening to happen than I am focusing on the lack of that thing (bad feeling). When I am appreciating the many opportunities to feel good here in this moment and there are many (good feeling). We all know that when we appreciate our life appreciates. If I cant be happy in this moment how can I be happy in the next moment, or the next? Choosing to be happy in this moment is the only place I can be happy and happy moments are what I desire.
Using this concept specifically; I am working on a ton of new products for Inward Balance's product lines. I noticed recently a nagging feeling that wanted these products to be selling in stores now. If I focus on how they are not ready and I want them to be ready, I feel bad....(not a happy moment)
When I relish the feeling of having already produced and sold these items to millions of happy customers at a profit; I feel giddy, happy, elated....(a happy moment). If I am going to choose a happy moment now I am going to be happy, and the reason for my goal is to be happy. So letting go of the outcome and choosing to feel good while taking inspired action towards my goal actaully helps me get to more happy feelings.
In Gratitude,
