“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” – Lao Tzu
When we accept that things are always changing and its pointless to try to keep things the way we want them to be, then we are able to move towards that place of peace and contentment. However ….
Letting go and trusting is hard sometimes!
Are you clinging on to something that no longer serves you?….. Perhaps its time to consider a different perspective and a plan B.
Having a plan B can help you bridge the gap between being stuck where you are and letting things flow naturally.
There are always options and choices. However, acknowledging our own reality can be the hardest part. There is judgment, sadness and loss. It takes courage to face this and be a part of creating a new future for ourselves.
We are not at the mercy of life. We can take responsibility and choose how we want to live it.

Val, your writings are a great help. Thanks!
Yes, it’s great to have a Plan B. I’m noticing that I don’t even need to plan Plan B many times, because many choices open up as I start to let go.

Thank you Vincent. I also notice that the more we trust our ability to meet whatever arises in the moment, the more able we are to let go of planning and can go with the flow. Its such an interesting journey from controlling to letting go!
Thank you for your comment I appreciate it!

“We are not at the mercy of life.” Perhaps life is at our mercy. That is why we accept it as it is, without judgement.
