There are so many schools of thought for various
challenges that come to greet us in our lives. Some times I think well, just do
it, just go for it, just get it done. But then I wonder about the other voice that
says everything happens for a reason and if you surrender and don’t add
resistance to something….. to anything it will just fade away.
My Spirit Guides like to explain it this way: Life is
like a game of tennis. One person hits the ball over the
net and the other person then does the same. The tennis game is a metaphor for
anything that is a struggle for you. Dealing with a rude in-law or family
member, that person at work that is so annoying.
Do you engage and begin the game of tennis and answer or
try to justify your side or stand up for yourself or do you simply take the
high road and say no thank you to the drama? That is the question! Taking the
high road and not engaging is not an easy thing to do. You say – Hey, they
started it, not me!
So, back to tennis. If your partner in the game hits the
ball back to you and you don’t
send
it back over the net, what happens to the ball? Well, as you know it will hit
the ground, roll a bit and then just stop.
Just stop……Ahhhh no resistance, nothing to fight against,
nothing to come up against…Can you feel it? Just let go. Your mind might be
yelling at this point But, But, But what are you talking about?! Let go? What?
And then, the what If’s begin. LOL.
The mind can be a dangerous place to spend too much time
in. We’ve all done it, but you do have a choice. You can stop your own on-going
tennis game, struggle or whatever it might be that you are going up against.
When you go up against something you are adding
resistance which keeps ‘it’ going on. Whatever ‘it’ might be. Drama, an
argument, a tennis game. You can put down your racket and let go. Do this for
yourself and I promise you will feel better. It can be a bit difficult at
first, but it does get easier and the lack of resistance means less stress and
a road that leads to letting go……..Breath…….Be well.
