Let it Happen

Easy Does It

Student pilots learn a simple method for getting an airplane out of a stall: Release the stick forward & the airplane rights itself. Continue to hold the stick back & you cause a fatal spin.
Many times, we cling too tightly to conditions that could simply right themselves if we would only let go. Situations often work themselves out when we stop pushing & pulling too hard.

If we’re living on a spiritual basis & following our Twelve Step program, lots of unpleasant conditions will clear up without any strain or struggle on our part. The secret, then, is to do our part & act prudently, but also to be willing to let things happen.

I’ll remember today not to push or pull too hard to get my way. Things might work themselves out if I simply let natural forces work properly in every situation.

Re: Let it Happen

Sort of like dancing with the Universe,
and letting it lead.
Thanks Doug.

Re: Let it Happen

Liked that. reminded me of a saying that is sorta the same...

Sign on a door

Push and if it doesn't open...
Pull and if it still doesn't open...
GET OUT OF THE WAY

*LOL*
