Another appropriate follow up to answering the call and understanding the message so we can follow and act on the call is letting go of what we think we are.  I follow certain card readers and I share the cards I pull every Monday through Friday.  This past week the topics seem to align with my favorite card readers and myself in that they were all talking about the destruction of ego, how ego has held us back—or even that the ego of others has held us back.  Let’s talk about what ego is.  Ego is the belief that our self knows better than all.  It’s the voice inside that tells us that we must succeed and show success at all costs.  The need to be right and define wrong based on our own terms.  It’s the voice that makes others wrong as well if they don’t conform to what we think is right.

In order to truly hear what we are meant to do and hear the voice and then to follow it requires the utmost humility to know that we need to pivot, to know that we have flaws and are fallible.  There is a point when we know we have to let go of what we’ve done in order to move on to what we need or are meant to do.  It’s simultaneously knowing the feeling that something is right for us but that we may not be approaching it the right way.  We need to alter how we do something in order to see it through to fruition.  The ego wants an “I” to be right where as our purpose and service to the world wants us to do what is right. 

I share this in the spirit of opening and allowing the message of what we are supposed to do and receive flow through us rather than suggesting to the universe that we know better, that we have control.  The only control we need is to stay the course, steer in the direction to where we’re going.  The how isn’t that important—and that is a huge revelation for me.  Letting go of how we get there is a significant mark in allowing the universe in and demonstrating the readiness we need to step forward into who we are, to fulfill that purpose.  Ego has nothing to do with fulfillment of our given purpose, when you are ready to let go of what you think you need to do, that is putting aside your agenda and opening to the bigger picture.  Let go and invite the wildest adventure in.
