When I can finally allow myself to let go of a problem that has been tormenting me, solutions begin to unfold that I never dreamed were possible. This choice allows me to be aware that my human understanding does have limits, that there are things I can’t figure out by myself. Only then I will let go—and trust to a higher power for help. 

Such an experience — seeing things happen that I did not bring to pass — will allow me to see that another persons actions and fate are not in my hands. The sooner I except this, the sooner good  things will be allow to unfold in my life. 

Today’s reminder

“May I always keep in the forefront of my mind that I am not all-wise and all-powerful. Only God is that — and it is on Him/Her that I must rely.
