Can you believe the best today? Can you feel that life will bring you what you need, what you want? Can you see that people will greet you with love and compassion? Can you know that you are held and safe? Can you simply accept that your happiness, your hope, and your peace are written in the stars?

I remember writing this one clearly. It was one of my many times of spiraling down into a sense of one dimensional being and transactional living. And as I look at it nearly two years after I wrote it, my heart hurts for the me that was.

I also think that it’s a bit too deterministic. If I look at the last sentence, I’d want to change it. The potential for my happiness, my hope, and my peace are not only written in the stars, the choices to find them are with me every day. So it’s less that the universe is going to protect me than it’s going to offer me the opportunity to find what I want out of life.

As you read this I wonder:

* Can you imagine things turning out better? How far can you push it?

* Can you hear the quiet signals around you that show you why you matter?

* Can you believe that the chance to find more is in front of you and look for it?

On the other side of surrender, namely letting go, may be leaning in, not to a story that you need to be true, but to the small signs that you can change your world and the world. I hope you see more of those signs this week and are moved to take action.
