Just leave it alone!

How hard it is to realise we cannot control everything in our lives.

How difficult it is to just step back and let things happen rather than making them happen.

What is it with us that we cannot be like a blade of grass? Decide to grow and just grow!

We are so caught up in the outcome that we miss all the oppotunities along the way. We invest so much energy in the outcome - (the way it has to be), that we have hardly any energy left to carry out our plans. It's like holding on so tightly to a rope in case we fall of, that we have no energy or attention left to think of ways to get onto a ledge!

In these challenging times (and I refuse to use the 'R' word), where is your energy and attention? What are you focusing on? Are you so caught up in the future that you are missing what is going on today, that you may be missing small opportunities along the way? Of course we need to be aware of what is going on around us, and we need to have an idea of where we are headed, however, holding onto that idea with both hands so tightly that we cannot let go will drain all of our energy and resources.

Trust yourself, your skills and abilities; What is your desired outcome? What is your plan? Make your decisions and work your plan. If things change along the way have a look at the options, yes it may change the outcome maybe even for the better. We cannot predict the future, however be are aware of what you are doing now.
