Hello Community, 

Life has funny ways to answer our list of gifts & requests.
It seems that the desire to get what we want doesn’t always go our way either.
On the flipside, the best things unfold naturally when we don’t expect them to.

We get what we need, not what we want!

Easier said than done, especially when we are planning & trying hard for something we care about. Note that getting emotionally and/or intellectually attached to an outcome is always an option, but it creates tension between our outlook & the reality of what is.  So how can we both control what we can & relinquish it to accept & surrender?

Well, the good news is that everyday we get opportunities to notice ourselves, 
our limited understanding & our ego-based attachments.
It’s a daily practice, and you may know it already: practice drives growth!

Personal reflection:

• What/who do I tend to control?
• What am I unwilling to compromise or change? 
  Think of habits, modes of communication & ways of being
• What can I accept to create more ease & trust in my circumstances & relationships?
