I learned this late in life but I was so grateful when I finally did. One time I read:
“There are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”
For me the last was the hardest.
Our will gets us into trouble. We aim for some goal, but even when we get it, we are rarely satisfied.. Or we don’t get what we want and feel inadequate or deprived. The only time I ever found lasting satisfaction is when I let go of myself-will and became willing to surrender and commit to something bigger than myself. Then those dreams have a chance of becoming an incredible reality, without manipulation, control or illusions of being “the right way”. Prayer and meditation is the direct path to any desire for me.When I have realized that my problems are too big to solve myself…I also don’t need not to be alone with my problems, if I’m willing to accept help from something bigger than me. In the beginning I faked it, but after a while I realized how powerful it is if you are open to it. Sometimes I’m angry at the universe, but the more angry I get, the louder it gets..so why fight it? It has to do with a deep trust in something I can’t control, a trust of the unknown. When you start believing in this bigger force, every part of your life becomes lighter and easier to handle. Life will let you down, so I see it as having a friend that will always be there and is always right, and then I accept and surrender to him or her, or whatever you want to call it. It’s also equally important to not only ask for guidance when your life doesn’t go the way you want, but also communicate to it when things in your life go well.
