Holding On Too Tightly

Sometimes we hold so tightly to things that mean the most to us that it seems unimaginable that we may lose them along the way. Life is impermanent. Nothing stays the same. The tighter we hold on to our things and those we love, the harder it is to release them. Whatever fears we have that keeps us from letting go, paralyzes ourselves from moving forward. Things may comfort us and those we love may make us feel safe, but we are missing so much more that the universe has to offer. If we open our arms and trust that the things and people we love will still be there for us, then all is possible while we move forward towards the life we were meant to live. Today, have faith that whatever you do, the people who support and love will always be a part of you no matter where they are. Trust that the things you treasure at this moment, will always hold a special place in your heart even when they are no longer there. Know that the wider you open your arms, accepting the universal flow, miracles await you.

Sometimes we want to capture this moment forever...

(I'm a creature of habit, so it's challenging for me to let things go. I enjoy doing the same things and being with close friends and family. It's hard when they begin to move away and everything seems to change. It's not easy, but I'm trying to accept what the universe is sending my way. Accepting is one thing, understanding is another.)
