Holding On

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.  

~Emmanuel

Holding On
We tend to hold on to things pretty tightly.  Whether it's our opinions, our experiences, our pain, unhealthy aspects of our lives, our jobs, relationships, whatever it is, we think that the tighter we can hold on to it, the more control we have over it.  Here is where it gets difficult.  See, the tighter you hold on to something, the less control you have on it.  You stop allowing flexibility to come in by having such a firm grasp.  Plenty of times life has the solution waiting for us right along the sidelines but we get in the way of seeing it clearly or letting it in because we are too focused on our grip.  The more we can loosen the hold we have, the more we allow miracles to happen.  It's finally time to put down the control, take a step back and let life do what it does best, flow in with abundance and solutions that we could have never dreamed of ourselves.
