Language of Letting Go - March 25
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Letting Go of Worry
What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time? Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now we'd be grateful for that problem, and its solution?
What if . . . we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that everything that's happening, and has happened, in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our best interest?
What if . . . we had a guarantee that the people we love are experiencing exactly what they need in order to become who they're intended to become? Further, what if we had a guarantee that others can be responsible for themselves, and we don't have to control or take responsibility for them?
What if . . . we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way?
What if . . . we knew everything was okay, and we didn't have to worry about a thing? What would we do then?
We'd be free to let go and enjoy life.
Today, I will know that I don't have to worry about anything. If I do worry, I will do it with the understanding that I am choosing to worry, and it is not necessary.

Worry was such a big obstacle for me, and the thing is...it never once changed the outcome. The "what if's" and the "shoulda, coulda and woulda's" all occupied way too much space in my mind, "the committee" as we call it was busy 24 hours a day.
Today I have replaced worry with faith, that whatever happens is for a reason and is exactly as it is supposed to be. Today I trust the outcome to be whatever my HP plans it to be and I keep faith that it's all good.
Just for today, I will show up worry free and just let life happen.
Hugs

thank you Ann,
I read from this book daily, but I must say,
Your responses that come as a second post, are as powerful to me as Melody's are.
Maybe because we walk a similar journey, co-Dependant with Addict children.
Or maybe its because you are a writer yourself and should be saving these for your own book.
so thanks!
Cathy
