Every now and then, I have an event or circumstance that tries to knock me flat on my back with hopelessness, despair, and, in the end, a fruitless freak-out attempt to scramble to get things back under "control". We truly are are own worst enemy. Rather than saying no; rather than just letting things go and letting life flow out from us, we have an internal tantrum and demand that life behave. After all, it is our life and it must be tamed so that we know what to expect and live in such a way that our days stay organized and pretty, right?Well, in my humble experience, the most important thing we can do is STOP. Will the world really end if we don't wear the same size jeans we wore in high school? Will all our friends truly desert us if we don't go to that happy hour on Thursday? What will people really think if we start allowing ourselves to be in the moment instead of constantly worrying about the past, hiding our present, or sacrificing what really matters most for the unknown future?
I am a driven person. I inherently push those around me and I get disappointed with myself and others easily. But I have found that when I let go, and I give my life some space to let in love and simply stop to see what can happen...then I allow others and myself to experience more in this life through the chaos than we would have if I would have kept it stuffed my tiny little box of expectations. See what a little chaos might do for you today...I dare you!
