Where is your path taking you? How hard are you holding the wheel? Can you have faith in the universe and belief in those who love you most? What would happen if you took your hands off the wheel and let someone else or maybe nobody at all drive? It's possible and it may create an outcome closer to the one that is meant for you.

Letting go is one of those things that is oh so easy to say and oh so hard to do. I’m reminded of taking flying lessons when periodically the instructor will tell you to take your hands off the yoke (the wheel). The intent is to see if the plane is set up to fly straight on its own.

I try to think about it that way. We aren’t taking our hands off the wheel to let someone else fly but to learn about our path. We aren’t giving in, we are using all our senses to see where we are and where we have the potential to go. Somehow, when I think about it like that, it’s a little easier to let go, at least for a little while.

As you read this, I wonder:

* How much faith do you have in the momentum behind you?

* Do you believe that those who love you most will help you build your path?

* Is understanding where you are headed more important than where you get to?

I know I will never be fully comfortable with just letting go. It’s not in my nature. But I am learning that those brief moments of assessing how life goes when you aren’t steering are important learnings for me. What might be waiting for you to learn if you take your hands off the wheel, even for a moment?
