Do you feel like your life is working? I mean, really working?
Are you happy? At peace? Prospering? Feeling good?
If you answered “no,” to any (or all) of these questions, let me let you in on a little secret for finally making your life work.
Are you ready?
Well, here goes...
“Let go and let Life win.”
Huh? What does that mean?
“Let go and let life win”...means that whatever direction life is trying to take you in, let it. Stop resisting. Stop fighting it. Let go and let life have its way with you. It does anyway. So, stop trying to figure it all out. It's pointless.
"Just let it be. You may as well; it is. Everything moves in and out at its own time. You have no control. You never did; you never will." - Byron Katie
But, what if you have real problems? What if your life really sucks? What then?
Let go anyways, then look for the opportunity being presented to you by Life. It’s there. Find it.
Life is either telling you: “It’s o.k. to keep going down the path you’re going down, but if you want things to improve and get better, you will need to make an adjustment, a tweek of some kind, or try whatever you’re doing in a different way.”
Or, life is telling you: “Stop now. Go in a completely different direction. This way is not working.”
If we ignore these messages or do not hear what Life is really telling us, things will only get worse for us. More struggle. More pain. No fun.
Why?
Not because we are being punished, but because we are being "course corrected," guided by Life to go in the direction of our highest good (which we may or may not have a clue about).
During this phase, if we are attached to the way things things have been for us or the way we’ve been going, letting go of all of this can be a little rough...to say the least. Yes, we may freak out. Completely lose it. Get stressed. Depressed. And wonder “Why is this happening to me?”
“I believe everything that happens to you is the greatest thing that could ever happen to you. Everything -- because that is exactly how the universe works. It gives you whatever you are in alignment with, and it's all designed to work on the weakest link you have." - Jim Carrey
"The Uni-verse knows what's best for you, even when you would prefer it otherwise." - Mastin Kipp
Ok, so let’s assume, just for a moment, that all of this is true: Life knows what’s best and It only wants to show you the way to your greatest joy and highest good.
Now, what? What do you do now?
Do whatever is possible to make the best of wherever you find yourself in the present moment. Stop resisting it. Be present. Add value. Do whatever you can to make things better. That’s it. Just do this. Nothing more is needed.
Now, I’m not saying that you need to become Mother Teresa or some other saint. No, you don’t need to try to do it all. Just do your best, from wherever you are, and let go of the rest.
