Free and Easy

Letting go allows us to move forward, to dream and become aware of the our own personal desires. Everyone has secrets and situations that baffle them and render them feeling helpless. The choice is simple, cut it loose or allow these things to drag you down. As simple as the choice is, the difficulty lies in the actions to take in order to follow through. Many of our thoughts about how we should live, how we should perceive and what we should be doing have been embedded in our minds for a long time. These perceptions sometimes force us into the disillusionment that we are in control of the results in our lives. Our minds tell us that other people should act a certain way, that we should be doing things to make others happy or that we can control the outcome of our actions. In order to be truly free, the seemingly monumental task at hand is learning to let go and to accept life as it comes.

There is a flow to The World that is free and easy, although at times it seems as though it is suffocating and deficient. Storms will rage and rain may fall on days we expect the sun. Each storm will pass and the sun will rise again, perfectly in the flow of the Universe. Everything changes around us, cold winter nights will eventually become shining spring days, gray skies turn into breathtaking visions of blue and tears from the eyes of a child turn into sparkling visions of hope and imagination. Like children, we never have to stop growing, we never have to stop being in awe of just how wonderful the changes around us are. We can begin now, changing our thoughts and perceptions and accepting the changes both outside and inside of our hearts. Though not always easy, we can begin to let go of the idea that we are in control and be inspired by the free and easy changes in our life.
