Do nothing

For a long time now I've been doing alot of development work on myself. I read, speak to friends and family, seek out wise people and I take on the wisdoms of those who've long passed (Shakespeare, Jesus) but in their teachings carry on.

I've attended Buddhist meditation sessions, gone to copious yoga classes and one thing I have learned through all of this is - 'to thine self, be true' and trust in the process of life.

For what I mean, if you trust yourself and the knowledge that there is a greater power out there, than ourselves, working its way as it should and we follow that process and move with it - it will work out as is right for us.

In loathe to sound like a hippy or surfer dude - I aim to consciously go with the flow. Taking this one step further, sometimes going with the flow means doing nothing. Do nothing. And by this I mean, things that are concerning to us or worrying us - we don't need to force a resolution we don't need to over analyse the situation.

We can just go with the flow and do nothing. And that's what I'm going to do. Nothing.

It's quite liberating to 'let go' and plenty of spiritual and new age healers are earning mega bucks teaching the wisdom of this simple philosophy. Let go and trust in the process of life.

Another one I heard just last week is "allow yourself to be in the imperfection" in the context that there is no sense of justice in life, it's not always fair and things can happen to us where we would otherwise seek an alternative outcome.

Our challenge and part is to navigate best according to our true self, our true nature - what feels right for us. Feels right - the gut, not necessarily the mind. The intuition. I've read recently about the "false self" - oh the false self - how I've allowed myself to get caught up in this so many times.

It's a relief to know how to strip back and just be. Just let go and do nothing! So this is my lesson for a Sunday night - even though it can be an uncomfortable process to go through as in order to let go, it may appear we are surrendering our control. But on the contrary - when we let go - we are in the hands of full control. We are letting ourselves be in the world as it is and where everything works out as it should.
