Guidance & Reflection – Week 80

WEEK 80

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Live and let live.

Today, practice living your own life while 

letting others live theirs.

This does not mean being selfish, uncaring

or unavailable to others. It means to accept

others as they are, where they are and how

they are without letting it affect you or your own

path of love, light, peace and joy.

Today, just breathe easy and let things

be the way they are.

If you feel like saying or doing something

to make someone act differently; that is, the way you

want them to be or think they should be…

take a deep breath and exhale, acknowledging 

this feeling. Then, take another deep

breath… exhale and let the feeling go.

Surrender it, and who or what it is about

and allow That Which Is In The Universe to handle it.

Today,

live…

and let live.

Let go…

let God

and simply love.

 

Evening Reflection 

This daily guidance revealed to me how much there is in me that wants to be heard, noticed, honored as smart, show that I know what’s best… ugh… must I go on?!

However! I did follow this guidance and – oh my – is it freeing. 

To be quiet when no one has asked my advice, though they are asking another in my earshot was challenging. UGH! So, what is that? It is ego. UGH! I don’t like this day’s challenge, which of course, means I really NEED it.

It did get more comfortable as the day moved on. I just watched and listened more. I let life come to me more rather than go after things that really were not for me anyway. Some things did come around to me later, though.

I experienced life today as… God can take care of the world. 

God knows how to move events to me if it is my turn to be useful. All I had to do was live and let live. I had to let go, meaning surrender. I had to surrender my desire to be helpful, useful, seen as smart, wise, etc… UGH. 

The breathing out twice was very helpful.

By day’s end I actually enjoyed this guidance. It gave me space to just be.

Ahh… I need to do this guidance much more often!
