The Language of Letting Go, October 25
OCTOBER 25
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Letting Go of the Past
... in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me when as yet there was none of them.
--Ps. 139:16
Some people believe that each of our days were planned, Divinely Ordered, before we were born. Higher Power knew, they say, and planned exactly what was to transpire.
Others suggest we chose, we participated in planning our life - the events, the people, the circumstances that were to take place, in order to work through our issues and learn the lessons we needed to master.
Whatever our philosophy, our interpretation can be similar: Our past is neither an accident nor a mistake. We have been where we needed to be, with the necessary people. We can embrace our history, with its pain, its imperfections, and its mistakes, even its tragedies. It is uniquely ours; it was intended just for us.
Today we are right where we need to be. Our present circumstances are exactly as they need to be - for now.
Today I will let go of my guilt and fear about my past and present circumstances. I will trust that where I have been and where I am now are right for me.
