Language of Letting Go - May 21 - Getting Needs Met
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. God created me and all my desires.

In-between is where I wait for direction, from my inner spirit that connects with my Higher Power.

Thanks Ann. Once again this hits me right between the eyes or maybe right in the heart. Sometimes I find it so difficult to be still and wait. I am either scared or in a big old hurry for something to happen, something to change. I find it hard to trust and let things just unfold... to let go. This helps me to continue to acknowledge what I need and then to work towards that goal and just let things happen. A gentle reminder that a "control freak" like I can be needs that I am NOT in control.
