Worries can’t add a single moment to your life.  If worry can’t do the little things, then it certainly can’t do the big things.  So relax, trust, focus, and follow through.  The mind is incredibly powerful, yet left unattended, it will bring us to places that serve no purpose for us. It can bring us to places that will stop us in our tracks or distract us from staying on the right track.  The mind will turn to worry in times of uncertainty, yes, as a primitive response, but we are able to discern what truly is a worry in this day and age.  We can decide what is a threat and what isn’t because the threats aren’t the same as they were before.  Our job is to train our minds to focus on what is important in the moment.  To make decisions based on what we know where we are with what is happening.  We also have the gift of foresight and intention and we can direct our thoughts and energy where we want to go.

Knowing that we have the power of discernment, we can decide what is good or bad for us.  What creates needless worry and what is productive energy.  So many of us act from a place of caution and trying to make sure things turn out exactly as we plan because we expect a certain result.  This is control and the universe does not respond to control.  It responds to flow.  The natural instinct is to want to fix and make things happen and sometimes we aren’t able to do that.  Sometimes we have to move onto something else and allow things to take their natural course in life.  All we can do is flip all the puzzle pieces over so we can see what we are working with, trust they are all there, trust they will all fall into place—more importantly that they all fit so they CAN fall into place. 

Once we learn to accept that there are times that things don’t make sense in the process of it, we can accept that they always come together how they are supposed to.  We need to do our part and allow the rest to play their part as well.  Worry is an unproductive waste of time and creates unnecessary stress.  Things are destined to be a certain way and they will happen no matter what we do.  So instead of working on changing the course of something beyond our control, work on aligning with and understanding the flow.  Learning the twists and turns, anticipating the shifts in speed and course.  As a person with control issues myself, I know how difficult this is.  But the truth is we can’t alter anything anyone else does.  We can’t stop the inevitable.  So learn to dance in the uncertainty and trust that all will come to be as it is meant to.
