You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go

Knowledge

Learn to let yourself be guided into truth.

We will know what we need to know, when we need to know that. We don't have to feel badly about taking our own time to reach our insights. We don't have to force insight or awareness before it's time.

Yes! Maybe the whole world saw a particular truth in our life, and we denied it - until we were ready to deal with it. That is our business, and our right! Our process is our own, and we will discover our truths at the right time, when we are ready, when the learning experience is complete.

The most growth-producing concept we can develop for others and ourselves is to allow ourselves to have our own process. We can give and receive support and encouragement while we go through this process. We can listen to others and say what we think. We can set boundaries and take care of ourselves, when needed. But we still give others and ourselves the right to grow at our own pace, without judgment, and with much trust that all is well and is on schedule.

When we are ready, when the time is right, and when our Higher Power is ready - we will know what we need to know.

Today, I will let myself and others have our own pace and time schedule for growth and change. I will trust that I will be empowered with insights and the tools for dealing with these insights, at the right time.

Oh boy, this sure rang a bell with me. I just could not see that what I was doing was killing both my son and myself. I just could not comprehend that anything done through love could be destructive. I just could not see it until one night my world just fell apart and I was left in the darkness of fear and I could no longer see anything....I was lost.

I think God waited patiently for me to give up, for me to realize that I was lost and had no idea who I was or where I was going.

The night I told God that I could not do one more day of it, the night I gave my son to God and asked Him to take care of both of us, the night I surrendered because I knew I would die if I did not....that is the night my recovery began.

Today I take comfort in knowing that anytime I am lost, if I wait patiently, I will be led.

Very nice..... that is the space that I am in at this time. Words are put so eloquently. *THIS* is what I mean when I say that I have "resigned".

Good stuff Ann
