I found this quote somewhere on Facebook:  Let go of how you thought your life should be and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness. 

Ah… the cycles of life. Sometimes we are envisioning, planning, creating and determining our futures. I firmly believe that this is a worthy way of living and that we have the power to make all of our dreams come true.

And yet there are times when we need to stop and listen. It’s the yin and yang, the Alpha and Omega, the returning current. Sometimes it is not up to us. Many of us are relentless givers. Sometimes we need to learn to receive.

Rather than resisting the signs and signals that are coming our way, we need to discern their messages. It can be surprising – decisions are reversed, plans are scrapped and ideas are set aside. We are obliged to let God/Spirit/the Universe lead the way.

Often the reality of it all is the last thing we could imagine. Perhaps that’s the point. We are not meant to think or plan or question. We are meant to listen, open our hearts, receive, meditate and pray. Hope and faith become more tangible.

The answers will emerge when we are fully ready to receive and understand.

PS It wasn’t clear to me where this quote came from. I am happy to give credit where credit is due.
