The letting go even of certain people in our lives who we thought we could love into being loving, often is the most difficult pain to surrender. In the beginning stages of this surrender, we feel spent, but I promise you that this lethargy does improve eventually to the point of wellness!!

Everything we have experienced from birth until this very moment were necessary parts of our journey to wholeness.

Nudges to grow in particular ways often come in the form of painful life events, but it is essential we understand that it isn't as much the actual events as what it is we needed to learn that have meaning.

We get lost for a time in the pain that these events have caused when what we really want is to understand what all of this means and how we can get beyond the pain.

It is human nature to want to avoid the difficult part of any process, but in doing so we stay stuck in the grey areas of misunderstanding and suffering.

The difficulty for me might be different from what is difficult for you, but we all share the need to let go of whatever it is that holds us back from growing.

The key seems to be in the act of surrendering - the letting go of what we hoped would be, and what we worked so hard to make happen.

The letting go even of certain people in our lives who we thought we could love into being loving, often is the most difficult pain to surrender. In the beginning stages of this surrender, we feel spent, but I promise you that this lethargy does improve eventually to the point of wellness!!

Give yourself the gift of self love and patience. Allow yourself time to heal... time to understand.... time to be with all you have ever known that is good, kind, and loving.
