Letting life happen naturally
You know, we all constantly learn things on a continuing basis. And one lesson that I have personally struggled with and that I have seen other people struggle with is letting life happen naturally. The universe can do a MUCH better job than we can. If you find yourself trying to control so much of your future, then relax. One experience of my own that comes to mind is when I was interested in this person, but for some reason, I had a gut feeling that she was extremely negative. Although the beauty was there on the outside and something about the conversation made me interested in getting to know her, there was these small signs that said CAUTION sign. But did I listen to that? No. I said to myself, well I'm a nice guy and I usually get along with everyone, so I will just let her know about her negativity and maybe talk to her and she'll understand and try. It was a losing battle. I allowed her to draw me into her drama and negativity and it ended up costing me unnecessary time and money. If I would have followed the signs that were being shown to me, then some of this could have been avoided. Everytime an obstacle came up like silly disagreements we had, that turned into bigger arguments, I would TRY and make things work. It was a losing battle. So in other words, learn when it's time to let something be, versus trying to fix and control everything. Also, focus on trying to improve YOURSELF because it's very difficult to change someone else. The only thing you can do is try your best to plant the seed into someone else and then back off and let nature take its course. There are over 6 BILLION people on this planet. It's not meant for everyone to be compatible with everyone. So either it fits or it doesn't. If you find that dealing with someone is causing you stress, pain, heartache, then it's time to do something about it and free yourself from that. Don't get caught up in the "what can I do about it" stage in which you try to change the other person or try to control things. Don't get me wrong, its ok to try to help someone else, but you have to know how far to go. You have to know when its time to take a step back and let the universal handle the task.
Learn to live in present moment and not WORRY about what's coming up in the future so much. The best thing you can do is prepare yourself for the future, and its ok to think about the future sometimes, but know how to draw the boundaries within yourself to avoid overanalyzing the future and what's coming up ahead. Find a reason to enjoy the precious moment that you have right now and today. Now what Im stating today in this blog is not new. I'm sure you may have heard it before from someone in a different way. Consider this a reminder to let your life happen naturally and don't worry so much about what's coming and WHY.
