Learn To Let Go Thoughts

If we learn to let go sooner, the less chance frustration or anger will creep in. I experienced this when I had to rush to take away some KFC egg tarts to our Thursday night alignment meeting but once I got to the venue, I lifted the box from the car floor and the defected egg tart box fell apart. None of the tarts stayed in the box.

But rather than get angry and blame an object like the box, or dwell on the rushed efforts of acquiring them, I shifted out of the thoughts and back to a let-it-be nonchalance.

No anger, no frustration, no dark side. In fact, everyone didn't mind and still finished the whole box.

Today I came out of my room expecting lunch to be ready. But then mom told me to go out and buy something for the family. My plan wasn't to leave home until a few hours later. But I managed to shift very quickly and just did what needs to be done.

Our plans that we make are never our own. We are here to serve a larger purpose. One that we often are not fully aware of. But to stay stuck in selfishness will be our own undoing.

Today I'm grateful for the strength in awareness that led to peace and calm.
