I Believe, I Trust, I Let Go

I have been participating on some meditation exercises that are facilitated by the great Deepak Chopra.  Each one of the sessions has been very powerful, however, when I walked through the one titled, "Faithful Me", it stayed with me for several days afterwards.  There are three simple statements, that carry such power and conviction that I felt compelled to pay more attention to them via my own written words.  We all have faith in ourselves that we can accomplish certain things that could be task oriented or part of our nature around family and friends.  If you make a commitment to manage your finances better, live a more healthy lifestyle, be a more understanding parent or perhaps you want to communicate better with your loved ones, you can be resolved to have faith in yourself to accomplish those things.  However, in the meditation example what provided me with such an impacting thought was that we must let go of all things and not try to craft something that is not completely in our control.  If we believe that the best will come of any situation deep down inside and that you trust yourself or your higher power based upon your own spiritual beliefs, then there is no further ingredient to be added to this formula.  Issues in our lives teach us things about ourselves or others, which is how growth is primarily measured on a personal basis.  When we pay so much attention to the details of how things will manifest themselves in our life, we tend to lose the focus of having that inner belief that you know the best will come of all things that are meant for your own good.  We all have minds that wander and we tend to be great at coming up with a variety of solutions to any particular problem.  What we fail to do in many instances is to really take a step back and let go of things while you focus on trusting and believing that only good will come of everything.  We could eliminate so much unnecessary time that is spent on visualizing how we are going to solve something at every turn, if we were to put our conscience at rest if we learn to trust and believe a little bit more in ourselves.  The next time you are presented with a particular issue, barrier or decision making point in your life, think about these simple action statements that can give you freedom over repeating various problem solving scenarios that are not anchored by faith, trust and a firm belief as the foundation to the solution.  Three simple statements; I believe, I trust and I let go, can become the cornerstone of living a more peaceful existence that does not waiver and give you the strength you need to persevere in any given situation.
