"When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you obtain happiness."
Not that
long ago I held on fast to the belief, that if I worked hard enough and focused
all of my energy on what I wanted in my future, it would eventually come true
for me. But along the way, things had
taken place that were not part of the plan I had created for myself. It seemed that the faster I chased my dream,
the further it got away from me.
Then came a
time when I stopped for a moment and looked around. I was lost.
I suddenly realised that in all the time I had spent chasing something, I
had begun to lose the centre of it all – my sense of self. In that moment of appraisal I began to
consider the route toward my destiny. I began
to wonder if the preparing, worrying and setting things up for tomorrow was actually
preventing the creation of my future.
Today as I
stand back and reflect, I am amazed. Many
years ago I had altered the route I was travelling. As it turns out, the road I have travelled
since then has been filled with lessons, losses, beauty, fear, friendship and
love. All greater experiences than I had
imagined for myself.
Consider yourself
for a moment. Rather than constantly
evaluating, allow yourself the abandon to let go of the desire to have your
tomorrow as you planned and live in your intention for today.
