If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we want to feel happy; and on the other side of that coin, we want to avoid hurting. Yet we consistently put ourselves in situations that set us up for pain. We pin our happiness to people, places, and things and then hold onto them for dear life. We stress about the possibility of losing them when something seems amiss. Then we melt into grief when something changes. And, in trying to hold on to what’s familiar, we limit our ability to experience joy in the present. However, when you stop trying to grasp, own, and control the world around you, you give it the freedom to fulfill you without the power to destroy you. Today, the Universe is giving you the energy and the courage to let go. Today, begin to recognize that everything changes and in order for you to change, to transform, you must let go, no matter what rationalizations, excuses or "what your thing is" that justifies you to remain attached to people, places, things and beliefs that no longer serve any purpose in your life. The Universe is clearly showing you what does not work in your life any longer. Today is the day that you set your intentions to take action on the revelations that you are being given and that action begins with you letting go. You have the power to choose from moment to moment how you experience things you enjoy: with a sense of ownership, anxiety, and fear, or with a sense of freedom, peace, and love. Today, experience, appreciate, enjoy, and then let go to welcome another experience.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. I let go of all my expectations and allow myself to flow freely and easily with life. I love myself and I know only good awaits me at every turn. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
