this very moment


as vulnerable humans in an uncontrollable world we worry. a lot. we worry about whether what we said yesterday was the wrong thing, we worry about the choices we've made being the "right" ones, we worry about what will happen in the future with the current choices we are making and we hesitate in panic and anxiety before we make any choice with alternate paths. many times our worry freezes us, and we miss opportunities purely based off of fear. we stay, we leave, we close up, we open up, we speak, we stay silent for all the wrong reasons. instead of living present in each moment, we experience and act overwhelmingly based on past and future. in knowing that the only thing that we can somewhat control is ourselves, we take painstaking measures to keep our lives in order the way we see best. 

maybe we need to let go of the life we see ourselves living in order to fully live the one meant for us. this universe is vastly greater than we are, and maybe, just maybe for once we can trust something greater than our own limited scopes. what if there is something so much greater and wonderful in store for you if you would simply let go. the wonderful thing about the control that we have over our own lives is that each day, each moment we have the ability to let the past go and start new, without making assumptions of what the future should hold. when our expectations from the past and about the future are opened up to the possibility of the unknown, that is when life can truly begin.

"what if there is something so much greater and wonderful in store for you if you would simply let go" ...so TRUE, letting go can be the biggest release one could have been hoping for. So many times we humans think that holding on tighter, clinging to the familiar, will bring us peace, but it is in that letting go that we are open to NEWness.
