We Would All be Best Served by Letting Go

By Carolyn Kates, Clarity with Carolyn

As we end another month, the Universe wants to remind us that we would all be best served by letting go of how we expected things to be and instead accepting them as they are.

For you see, often life throws us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction or consider other opportunities. The problem arises when we desperately try to dodge the curveball, attempting to avoid feeling uncomfortable and wanting to remain attached to our master plan.

We then miss the lessons that are available to us and are doomed to repeat that lesson over again. We miss the lessons because we become so attached to the way we have determined our lives should look like.

We Would All be Best Served by Letting Go

Today, it is time to see your disappointments and "let downs" as good things, instead of letting them lead to endless suffering.

Today, it is time to release your need to control absolutely everything in your life. Today, set your intentions to begin this new month by knowing that if things are not turning out as planned or the way you want them to, that is actually really good news. The Universe has a better idea in store for you. But first, you have to let go of the plan you have been attached to so that your Higher Self and the Universe can conspire for you.

Your disappointments and unfulfilled expectations are gifts. Each one has been an opportunity to let go of something external that you have clung to for worth, safety, or love. I am not saying that disappointment is at the top of anyone's wish list. However, if you learn how to respond to disappointment from the perspective of a student rather than a sufferer, you will walk through doorways of transformation that will lead you to more love and more fulfillment.

Today, let go of your certainty of what comes next and look for the lesson.

Today, let go of your need to control everything, let go of your expectations, and go with the flow.

Just for today, I release all expectations, knowing that Life will always take care of me. I let go of all expectations. People, places and things are now free to be themselves and I am free to be me. I let go of all expectations. I now flow freely and lovingly with Life. I love myself and I know only good awaits me. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come.

And so it is.
