“Be so calm about it that it ends up working itself out. Sometimes you just need to surrender it and enter the trusting phase to allow things to come together for you,” Idil Ahmed. This one is short and sweet: let it all go. Let the emotion go and learn to feel into our bodies. There are things in this world, this universe that we will never understand. They simply operate as they are, and they do it without our input. We are gifted energy that allows us to create and do something new, but the universe will continue moving with or without our action. Spending time trying to control every detail, the way things look, the way people see us is a waste of time, and frankly, a waste of that energy we are gifted. We need to put it to good use and we do that in letting go of how it happens, when it happens. We learn to celebrate our wins and the wins of others because we learn there is no real winning. We progress when we advance ourselves and develop the talents we were gifted. We progress even more when we learn to harness it and come together with others. Energy spent on anxiety and worry is a waste of time. We just have to trust that all will come together as it is meant to—because it will—and it doesn’t have to look at all like what you expect.
