Embracing Life's Unpredictability: The Art of Letting Go and Finding Joy, Day 19

What if the secret to happiness lies in embracing life's unpredictability rather than wresting control from it? Join me on a heartfelt exploration of acceptance, inspired by a touching story of a big panda and a tiny dragon by John Norbert. Through personal anecdotes of moving to a new home and discovering beauty in simple moments, we unravel the transformative power of being present. Together, we’ll unlock the art of letting go—a practice that has softened my mindset and opened me up to unexpected joy and fulfillment.

This episode invites you into a candid conversation about personal growth and self-discovery, where balancing desires with acceptance becomes an enlightening journey. Alongside a friend, discussions reveal how life's struggles often stem from our attempts to dominate its course, and how surrendering to its natural flow can be liberating. Take a moment to listen and reflect on how embracing life's uncertainties might just lead you to a more open and joyful existence. Let’s navigate the path of acceptance and discover the beauty of welcoming what life has in store.

Hello, hello, here we are again and tell me what's been going on for you. Are you doing the practices? Oh, my God, everybody's here. How's it going? Are you manifesting? Are you noticing big changes in your life? Are you experiencing more pleasure and recognizing more beauty? I hope so. I'm recognizing.

Speaker 1: 0:30

That's what I really need to do. I need to be really intentionally present in the beauty of my life, because there really is so much beauty of my life, because there really is so much um. They had one big change with the place that I live and it's like it's opened up my mind, like I'm like, okay, I'm not so stressed about this thing anymore, so now I can be like, oh, look at all these big windows and all of the trees that I can see and the leaves blowing in the breeze of this storm, and thank you, I don't mean barrage in a bad way of um reminding me that it is all about accepting what is. And and with the accepting what is, it's like recognizing the beauty of what's happening right now, the beauty of the present moment and the situation. And I just read this book when I was out shopping, um, and that was the whole message of it, and I'm like standing there in the store getting teary and taking pictures of pages of the book Um there was, I think it was by John Norbert. It's a big panda and a tiny dragon. But there was one line that said something like we may not have chosen to be here, but this is where we are, so we will try our best to be okay with that and accept it are. So we will try our best to be okay with that and accept it.

Speaker 1: 2:32

Um, oh, yes, I, I will continue to be trying to accept um, because that's, you know, the opposite of the control, the opposite of being the control freak that I have been trying to, and good god, it's exhausting, trying to control your whole life when I don't know I'm I'm very much also. I want this thing and I want that thing, and I want this thing and I want that thing, and maybe I don't want this thing that I want forever, or maybe I do want it or maybe I don't. Um, which I think has been a bit of like oh, this part of my business has broken my heart and I don't know if I can even keep trying. Um, I should try if I want to try, if it's worth trying, if it'll break my heart again.

Speaker 1: 3:34

But with the allowing, with the accepting of what is happening and what is not happening, I think they'll be a little more softness in well, specifically in my brain, in my thought patterns, but in my, in my whole being. That's softening, relaxing, opening up. That I've been, that this practice of self-pleasuring every day to be in the soft, open, relaxation, has really so much been about opening. Opening to what is oh my God, I didn't even realize that's what it was. It's opening to what spirit wants to bring me, not exactly what I have in mind.

Speaker 1: 4:33

They'll, you know, hold that beautiful goal in mind but, it doesn't have to be my way or the highway, and if I can let that be my actual truth, then I think some lovelier, even lovelier things could come in. So, uh, I was talking to a friend about my accepting and not accepting situation and and I know this is going to bring me all the things, and this is what I need to do, and I'm you know how many times can I say that I'm willing to accept what is before I actually accept it? And and she was like, well, if it was easy, everyone would have everything they want. And I was just like, oh, thank you so much for saying that, cause it's not that I'm doing a bad job and I'm not doing it right, it's just not that easy. I thought that it was, but clearly I haven't been doing it like almost at all ever. So something whatever I thought was easy was something completely different.

Speaker 1: 6:09

Yeah, because I would not be lamenting how exhausted I am by life and how hard I am trying if I was actually allowing life to be whatever it wants to be for me. Um, so give me a heart or a thumbs up or whatever. If you feel that, please, if you are with me in this, like, oh, my God, I'm so tired, I'm trying so hard. And then how nice it would be to accept and allow. So on that note, I send you big, big, beautiful blessings of allowing life to give you what you desire, and even more and even better, and of accepting what is and the beauty, of noticing the beauty in your life. May you notice all the beauty and the wonder and the majesty, and I will see you tomorrow.
