new practice

Much of this new phase of my life has to do with the practice of letting go. There is a certain respect for letting things happen as they may.

When I tell people that I believe in fate, rejection is a common reaction. The sense that we don't completely control our lives make people uncomfortable.

Acceptance of fate does not mean laziness or lack of effort. Letting go is the confidence that everything will work out. Having that belief allows me to take big risks and to put my best effort forward.

This new belief allows me to negate all fears. It feels so wonderful to navigate through life without any fears or worries. To feel this sense of liberation!

Surprisingly, there is also a sense of responsibility because I can be purposeful rather than getting caught up in the details or the petty emotional responses.

It is also isolating because so few people are at this place of calm and acceptance. Still, I am grateful for being at this place.
