Sometimes things don’t always go as planned.  As  a matter-of-fact, they seldom go as “planned.”   It’s when we start to analyze and evaluate what happened to figure out “what is so perfect about this?”  that we look to the meaning of our lives.

Asking the question “what is perfect about this?”  opens us up to the possibility that our lives are in fact “perfect.”   When things go “right” and we were hoping they would go “left”, or they go “down” when we were wanting for them to go “up,” we have a tendency to be disappointed.  However, when we ask the question “what is perfect about this?”  we realize that even though things did not go as “planned” we know they were perfect nonetheless.

When we set our intentions, and yes, make our plans, we then need to disconnect from outcome.  Do the things you think you need to do at this moment, to accomplish those intentions and plans, and then let go of the outcome.  It’s when we get attached to the outcome that we begin to place our identity and success as a human on that very outcome.  The ego starts to place our “worthiness” on the outcome, and we might feel like a “failure” if we come up “short.”

However, when we understand that everything in our lives is perfect at this moment in time, we can let go of the need to achieve.   Yes, we will still need to do the work to grow, but we do not place our identity and worthiness on the outcome.   It’s like planning a route to a destination, and then getting into your car and finding that you would like to take a different route.  You do not know what you “missed” on the original route, but you can enjoy the route that you are on!

It’s when we quit looking to how things “might have been” had we done “this or that,” that allows us to enjoy what we have and where we are at this moment in our lives.   Give up the notion that you have control over this lifetime, for you are like the rudder that is guiding your vessel through the river of life!
