LETTING GO AND FINDING LOVE. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MY LAST BLOG? WELL, SOMETHING CHANGED WITHIN ME.
BEING PULLED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS BY ALL THE ROLES I HAD TO PLAY IN MY RELATIONSHIPS - AS A MOM, A DAUGHTER, A PARTNER, A BUSINESS OWNER, A FRIEND, YOU NAME IT - I WAS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MEET EVERYONE ELSE'S STANDARDS. BUT WAIT, WHO ARE THESE "EVERYONE ELSE"? AS SOMEONE WHO'S EXPLORING NON-DUALITY PHILOSOPHY, I STUMBLED UPON A PRECIOUS MOMENT JUST FOR MYSELF - A MOMENT WHERE I FELT TRULY CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSE. AND NOW, BEFORE I GET CAUGHT UP IN THE ROUTINES AND SOCIAL NORMS AGAIN (I PROMISE, I'LL RESIST AS LONG AS I CAN), I WANT TO SHARE THE ANSWERS I FOUND.
WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON US, THAT IT'S ALL UP TO ME. BUT HERE'S THE THING - THERE'S ACTUALLY VERY LITTLE THAT WE CAN CONTROL. WE CAN MAKE PLANS, THINK WE'VE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT, BUT LIFE HAS ITS OWN PLANS TOO. AND AS FOR TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING, WELL, OUR EGO LOVES TO JUMP IN AND LABEL THEIR ACTIONS. IT'S LIKE WE'RE ALWAYS SEPARATING OURSELVES FROM OTHERS. WE BECOME ATTACHED TO PEOPLE AND THINGS, AND THE THOUGHT OF THE UNKNOWN SCARES US. TRANSITIONS OVERWHELM US. AND OH, THE WEIGHT OF THE PAST! WE KEEP CONVINCING OURSELVES THAT WE MADE MISTAKES AND NEED TO LEARN FROM THEM. BUT HONESTLY, HOW CAN WE REALLY BE SURE THEY WERE MISTAKES? MOST OF THE TIME, IT'S JUST GUESSWORK.
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? WE OFTEN FIND OURSELVES REPEATING THE SAME SITUATIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, QUESTIONING OURSELVES, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?" WELL, HERE'S A SECRET - THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH US. IT'S LIKE WE HAVE THESE PRE-RECORDED PROGRAMS IN OUR MINDS, INFLUENCED BY SOCIETY, OUR ANCESTORS, AND OUR EXPERIENCES. WE DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT MOST OF THE TIME. OUR EGO LIKES TO BLIND US, BUT INSTEAD OF FIGHTING AGAINST IT, I'VE LEARNED TO SIMPLY OBSERVE MY FEELINGS AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH MY EGO. I FORGIVE MYSELF, LET GO OF THE PAIN, AND LEAVE BEHIND MEMORIES THAT NO LONGER SERVE ME. AND IN THAT BEAUTIFUL SPACE, LOVE AND TRUST FLOURISH. I KNOW DEEP DOWN THAT I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN IN EVERY MOMENT.
BUT HOW DO I REALLY KNOW WHAT MY BEST IS? IT'S IN THOSE MOMENTS OF SILENCE, WHERE I CAN CONNECT WITH THE UNIVERSE AND FEEL AT ONE WITH IT. IN THOSE MOMENTS, LOVE FILLS ME UP COMPLETELY. I AM LOVE, AND I AM A POWERFUL CREATIVE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE. SO, I TAKE A DEEP BREATH, LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT, AND FULLY ACCEPT MY EXISTENCE.
TO SUM IT ALL UP, MY JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY HAS TAUGHT ME SOMETHING INVALUABLE: I LET GO OF CONTROL AND SURRENDER TO THE FLOW OF LIFE. I RELEASE THE NEED TO CONTROL EVERY LITTLE THING AND INSTEAD TRUST IN THE NATURAL COURSE OF EVENTS. LOVE BECOMES MY GUIDING LIGHT, BRINGING HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION ALONG THE WAY.
WITH OPEN ARMS AND A HEART READY TO HEAL,
LIORA REDMAN
WITH NEWFOUND SENSE OF FREEDOM, I AM ONE WITH IT ALL.
REMEMBER, MY FRIEND, YOU TOO CAN RELEASE THE BURDENS OF CONTROL AND SURRENDER TO THE BEAUTIFUL RHYTHM OF LIFE. LET LOVE GUIDE YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND HEALING. EMBRACE THE FLOW AND FIND THE SERENITY THAT COMES FROM LETTING GO.
