Language of Letting Go - June 17
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Surrender
Master the lessons of your present circumstances.
We do not move forward by resisting what is undesirable in our life today. We move forward, we grow, we change by acceptance.
Avoidance is not the key; surrender opens the door.
Listen to this truth: We are each in our present circumstances for a reason. There is a lesson, a valuable lesson that must be learned before we can move forward.
Something important is being worked out in us, and in those around us. We may not be able to identify it today; but we can know that it is important. We can know it is good.
Overcome not by force, overcome by surrender. The battle is fought, and won, inside ourselves. We must go through it until we learn, until we accept, until we become grateful, until we are set free.
Today, I will be open to the lessons of my present circumstances. I do not have to label, know, or understand what I'm learning; I will see clearly in time. For today, trust and gratitude are sufficient.

I am at the place where I look for the lesson in almost everything. I can look back on my life and see how my HP has given me MANY opportunities to learn something.... and if I don't learn it, I get another opportunity! We fondly refer to those moments as A.F.G.O. Another freakin growth opportunity...
Thanks Ann, for the reminder. Surrender and acceptance are key to my growth.
