"The ability to be with what is going on rather than remaining preoccupied with what might, should or could happen. Let go of the need to manage life and deepen into the peace of acceptance."
Got this quote from the site:
http://www.innerlinks.com/picker.html. What you do is you pick an angel card and see what enlightenment you can gain. Got this quote. (above) I think it applies to my life in almost every possible way. Every aspect. Perhaps I worry too much but if you ask me not to think about it, I suppose I will become crazy at a faster rate cos I will keep thinking of not thinking the thoughts. That is an innate characteristic and I guess I can never kick out of it. I tend to worry a lot about the future. Then there would be expectations formed and if I go beyond my own expectations, I will go crazy, literally crazy. Can anyone please teach me how to let go of the need to manage life when letting go means losing and I must hold on to whatever I have because they mean everything to me and that letting go means the possibility that I may lose everything... What should I do?
Dad says that we should do things at a step. Though it is really a cliche advice, I finally see the light of it. Dad: " For example, what I am going to do is to think of ways to get your school fees and to plan the thailand trip and my business.. but let's prioratise. Rank them from the most urgent to the least urgent such that you will place all your energy solely for the most important one. Then you move on." O thought that was a idea. I mean, I have never thought that "doing things a step at a time" means that way. Dad continues:" Before you sleep, don't think of the worst possibilities. Think of ways for the problem that is on your mind so that when you wake up, the problem would be solved." Never have I believed that problems could be solved when you wake up. But if you think of the solutions before you sleep, Yes, it will be solved when you wake up. Somehow what I have always scorn makes sense. Well...
