Giving Up Control

Sometimes when things aren't going so well for us, we may find it difficult to find the silver lining in life. No matter how much we go over the situation, our mind is too cloudy to think. We are too entrenched in the moment to be able to make sense of what is happening. Not being able to clearly focus on our tasks can be discouraging, when we are used to moving forward with clarity. We may find ourselves sliding down a slippery slope of self doubt. It is at this point, that it is better for us to slow down and take life a step at a time. Although we might not understand what is going on, we can appreciate that no matter what we do at this time may not turn out successfully. So it may best for us to give up controlling our life and let the universe guide us for a moment. Trust that we are being led in the right direction and we will soon see the light that will clarify all things. Today, be aware of what is going around you as you go through your day. Be guided by your instincts instead of your head and see where you end up. Trust that in your moment of stillness, the answers will come.

Sometimes life isn't as clear as we'd like it to be...

(It's frustrating for me when I'm not focused. No matter how much I'd like to keep moving forward, it's as if life says "No, you need to slow down and regroup". When looking back, I see the importance of being still. But while in the moment, it's difficult. Taking the time to reflect is always an ongoing challenge.)
