Language of Letting Go - October 15
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Letting Go of Chaos
No good work comes from unrest.
Unrest, fear, anger, or sadness may motivate us. These feelings are sometimes intended to compel action. But our best work emerges after these feelings have been replaced by peace.
We will not accomplish our task any sooner, or any better, by performing it out of a sense of urgency, fear, anger, or sadness.
Let go of unrest. Let peace fill the void. We do not have to forfeit our power, our God given personal power - or our peace - to do the work as we are called upon to do today. We will be given all the power we need to do what we are meant to do, when it is time.
Let peace come first. Then proceed. The task will get done, naturally and on time.
Today, I will get peaceful first, and let my work and life emerge from that base.

I would have to agree except when it comes to house cleaning. When I am really mad or really frustrated, I can work thru that energy by cleaning my house. When I'm finished, I am no longer so frustrated, and I have a feeling of peace and calm AND a clean house.
Unfortunately, this doesn't happen often anymore. A downside, I guess, to having good recovery in my life.
