"When I let go of what I am, I become what I may be"
Lao -tzu

Our power lies in this moment. It is ok to resign our position as general manager of the universe..we are not in charge. We dont know where the path is going and that is ok. it is an illusion to think we are in control. We must surrender and turn our lives over to our higher power.
We must find our freedom and release old fears and negativity. I am leaving the past behind and despite the worst defeats that seemed to come one right after the other month after month; i trust myself and i feel strong, determined and single focused. I own my part in what happened in my life and how i participated, but i will not stay stuck in them.
I chose to go forward with grace and determination and learn from the worst of the experiences.

"Fall seven times, stand up eight" - Japanese Proverb

Up until his death in his 80's Buddha taught the 4 noble truths: life is full of suffering, suffering is caused by attachment, abandoning attachment brings relief from suffering and release can be achieved through practicing right conduct-to help others to enlightenment , or nirvana.

Our crisis and our opportunity is to surrender control and the fear mechanisms of our ego to unconditional love without regard for the outcome..

I seek to activate my courage and build my confidence by honoring the obstacles as opportunities to overcome my fears. Give myself permission to surrender my illusion of control and honor my path without delusion or self deception.  And I choose to surround myself with people  who make me feel strong and see who I am beyond the limitations of my past.

"Let Them Go"- by Bishop T.D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you,
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you, let them walk.
I don't want you to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you.
I mean, hang up the phone.
When people walk away from you, let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody who left.
