The Language of Letting Go, May 21
May 21
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Getting Needs Met
I want to change careers . . . I need a friend . . .I'm ready to be in a relationship . . .
Regularly, we become aware of new needs. We may need to change our behavior with our children. We may need a new couch, love and nurturing, a dollar, or help.
Do not be afraid to recognize a want or need. The birth of a want or need, the temporary frustration from acknowledging a need before it's met, is the start of the cycle of receiving what we want. We follow this by letting go, then receiving that which we want and need. Identifying our needs is preparation for good things to come.
Acknowledging our needs means we are being prepared and drawn to that which will meet them. We can have faith to stand in that place in between.
Today, I will let go of my belief that my needs never get met. I will acknowledge my wants and needs, and then turn them over to my Higher Power. My Higher Power cares, sometimes about the silliest little things, if I do. My wants and needs are not an accident. Higher Power created me and all my desires.

I want to change careers
^^This - yes I do. My passion is cake decorating. I absolutely LOVE it. I had pressed forward building up a customer base while still working full time, being a wife and a mom.
I was on the verge of receiving my license to bake and sale from my home and then - I gave up
I had been pushing myself to the limit for 4 years. Customers did not want to pay for custom cakes, they wanted supermarket prices - I just couldn't do it anymore.
Reading this today make me realize that my Higher Power has a plan for me. I may not know what it is at the moment but I believe there is a reason I chose not to move forward with that license.
I will never let go of this dream. One day it will come true!
