Sometimes its right in front of you if you only allow it in

I seem to be going through a series of life lessons, which is great because I get to share them with you and sharing real life experiences is always so much better than not because that’s what personal growth is all about…. continuing to grow by learning from lessons life throws at you.

This weeks lesson has to do with trying too hard and then letting go.

I woke up and my earring was missing. I knew it was there before I went to bed so there was only one place it could possible be…. in my bed. So I searched with my hand close by and couldn’t feel it. I spread my arm out a little wider and still couldn’t feel it. I got up on my knees and searched every where and still couldn’t find it. I remembered seeing it in the mirror when I was in the bathroom before going to bed and now my mind convinced me that maybe it fell out when I was washing my face so I went into the bathroom and searched for it then went back to my bed to search for it.

The more I couldn’t find it the more frantic my search became until I decided (about an hour later) that it’s just not here and I’ve lost it. I put my knee on the bed to get back in to bed, felt something sharp and there it was!

What’s the lesson?

You can spend hours, weeks, months or maybe even years frantically looking for something that you desire but if you just let go of your frantic desire and attachment for it then give the universe a much easier chance to naturally bring it into your life.

We have all heard of the stories of women who desperately try to get pregnant and after years of trying and then adopting or just deciding to spend their life in different ways they fall pregnant!

Sometimes we have to let stuff go to let it in – and if I am honest letting go and just finding it was alot nicer than the frantic search I put myself through.

Now all I need to do is relate this to my life as I sit back and wait for whatever it is I am supposed to do next. My friends don’t quite understand why I wouldn’t just take the first job thats offered to me whether its something I want to do or not. After all it’s money isn’t it! But despite that the majority remain supportive and those who have known me for years understand that whatever I am going through right now I will get through it and continue to grow.

I know my journey back up has started when a few weeks ago the message I received was “you can still be happy despite what’s going on in your life” – adopting that has helped me to stay at peace and remain focused (well as focused as you can when you are in my head )

Watch out for the next lesson which is the digital camera and a USB connector!
