Day 169 of 400 TEST

You wonder why so many people avoid change and just continue to do what they've been doing! It's the big word "TEST". It's difficult when we say that we are willing to do something and then we receive our test on it. The feelings that can overwhelm an individual when they "think" they've done something right without a reward to follow. But what is the reward and who's to say that you're not going to be? Just because it doesn't look like you expected it to doesn't mean that there isn't something there waiting for you.

I hear it all the time......"Well I released that, I completely did." Okay then why are you so upset about it? In our book my husband was tested and tested and tested. He said that he could completely release me and any outcome regarding what I needed to do. However, whenever it was tested there was still a very, very, big charge for him. To the point to where he would literally shake like a leaf. Okay, if you released it then why are you having such an emotional response?

The reason is is because people have been so conditioned that if you say this then and do that you'll receive a reward. We still do it with our kids in the society by rewarding them with money, food, or anything else when they've "acted" the way we wanted them to. What a big dis-service we are commiting towards our future.

We should be able to just release because we completely trust the outcome. But it can be hard. Conditioning, lifestyles, and more contribute to the confusion of why we can't just release.

Unlike the skipper that releases the rope to his boat, trusting the waters and his ability to be in tune with nature allows the skipper to release the rope without saying, "Oh, should I let go of this rope? What will happen if I do? What if something comes up out there I'm not prepared for?" The skipper does none of that because he has learned to allow what may be to be and go with the flow. There is a part of us that fights it.

You see the skipper has experience that it's all going to be fine. We need to teach our children that things are going to be fine. Trust in God is more than just saying it, it's being that trust.

Trust today and let go of the rope that keeps you clinging to the dock.

Love, V
