Sometimes you may get a vision in your head of what you feel you need to be comfortable, happy and thrive in life. You may then go about changing your outside circumstances to create it, so then you can finally feel peace and happiness.
When things outside are not conforming to the plan, you feel out of alignment or like something is wrong. You may judge others or yourself and try to escape from your current reality in search of this ideal circumstance.
Until you realize that the more control you feel you need to have, the more resistance you pick up. The more self-inflicted misery you put on yourself and the more present moments you waste stuck in the future and the past. Life passes you by and you realize you are wasting precious time making demands and wanting your preferences to manifest.
The other decision is to stay connected, in alignment and in gratitude. Gratitude for what you have even if it’s not exactly as you like puts you in a place of unity and harmony not just within, also with other people and other things.
You start to notice more symmetry and flow and the things you initially wanted flow to you more easily without enforcing constant control. The pathway of resistance opens up to clarity and ease and you feel lighter. You realize happiness and peace always resided within.
You learn how control, being ungrateful and impatience can all be transformed through gratitude, connection and being present in the moment.
My story
I had a vision, plan and idea of what the intention of my trip was. I let my intuition guide me to a country I had never visited.
Upon the first few days of arrival I couldn’t not find the place or circumstances to match my vision or inner desires. I thought to escape and go somewhere else, then remembered it’s important to honor why my soul brought me to this location.
So I decided to surrender, let go of control and listen to my heart on a daily basis. It brought me greater joy, trust and the realization that I can be relaxed and happy now even without the imagined ideal circumstances manifesting yet.
I chose to focus on gratitude, being present and open to miracles.
