Life is a series of letting go. We become very attached to the world in which we live, the bodies we inhabit, the things we accumulate, the titles we receive, the relationships we are in, the labels we give ourselves in those relationships–sister, wife, brother, father, etc. These are all good and wonderful elements of being human. When we take a step back or rather inward–ultimately we see that those things are outside of ourselves and do not bring us the lasting peace that our hearts desire. Fulfilling our hearts desire means connecting to who we really are and recognizing that these elements we are attached to are simply vehicles through which to live out our spiritual journey. Thus all that time we spent building up these roles and stories must be placed in perspective and let go of. This requires a surrender and the surrender requires God. My prayer for you today is that you take a closer look at which part of your life you are most attached to and ask yourself who would you be if you were not that–just explore. Make it a great one!
