The art of allowing . . .

Today intend to practice the craft of allowing.  Allow life to enfold, allow others to be who they are, and allow love to flow in and out of you.  As you allow, you’ll find that you’ll be more at peace.

Good morning! I really like this quote.  It's a good reminder for me and I hope you enjoy it too. How many times have I "thought" I was in control of my life? How many times have I tried to control situations, people, etc.? Trying to live in a non-judgmental way can be difficult. It has been for me. We are making judgments all the time - sometimes without even realizing it. In Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, he talks about living a life of non-judgment.  Looking at life as not good or bad, fair or unfair. Life just is. 

When I viewed life as fair/unfair, I was miserable because I was placing judgments on how I wanted things to be. Now, if something happens that I'm not happy about, I try to immediately go to a place of acceptance. We never know why things happen in our lives. Sometimes, things that appear to be bad actually turn out to be a blessing. Have you ever had something happen to you or a loved one that really brought you down? And you focused on the negative aspects of it? Did it ever turn out to be a good thing in the future? It's happened to me many times. 

So today I will remind myself that there's a reason for everything that will happen today and I will just allow it. Hope you have a great day!
