Great Love:

Understanding Your Life's Purpose

Letting Go

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.
-Henry David Thoreau

 

To accept Great Love into your life requires that you let go… let go of all that you have known and all that you think you are. Let go   of the illusion of yourself. Set your rules aside. Set your fears aside.   Set your beliefs aside. By letting go, you are able to open your heart   and trust in greatness yet to come. Let go of who you think you should   be and allow yourself to just BE. Let go of what you believe to be true and accept the truth for what it is… what you know to be. Let go of old habits and patterns that have been directing your life, and freely accept the opportunities into your life as they arise. Let go of expectations of how your life is supposed to be, and accept your life as perfect in this very moment. Let go of thinking, and let thought come to you. Let go of noise and allow silence to permeate your mind. Let go of control, and become the wildflower that grows wherever the soil conditions are right. Great Love gently guides you without barriers or hurdles. Let go of obstacles that cloud your vision and the struggles that prevent you from moving forward.  

Letting go is extremely difficult because it requires that you step outside your comfort zone and open to new experiences. It is easy to remain in a familiar place where you know the routine and know the results you get. It is easy to be predictable or predictably unpredictable. As you begin to let go, it feels as though you are leaping off a cliff into the abyss. It is scary. It is exhilarating. It feels as though it will never end. Fear can be very intimidating and leads some people to quickly return to a familiar place of comfort. They return to the old. They return based on fear. Great Love allows you to look back and know where your truth lies… ahead… not behind. Great Love holds your hand each time you step forward into the unknown and it catches you whenever you stumble. Let go and trust Great Love to be your partner in good times and in bad times… for better or for worse… and watch your life transform virtually overnight.
