The hardest part of life is knowing that all is well, even if it seems like all hell is breaking lose on the external level. It’s easy to think “all is well” when things are hunky dory, but we don’t realize that outside, external reality has little to no bearing on the stability of our inner condition. You have the control to make your inner world OK, no matter what happens externally. You are the guardian of your emotional wellness, not the guardian of the fluctuations of the outer world! Say this, “I allow all things to be what they are, and I know they are all working towards my greater good.” Then believe this truth!
If something fails, let it go. If you go up for a job and you don’t get it, let it go. It wasn’t yours, and something better is at hand. If you ask someone on a date, don’t expect anything out of it. Just enjoy the company, and if something comes to fruition, great. If you’re not enjoying the journey, you’re missing the point .
The point is not the outcome. It’s to always be open, peaceful, and joyful. Drop all expectations. If you get into manipulating everything to go your way, you’ll put yourself in an early grave. If it works, great. If not, great. Look for the joy in doing, being, and trying. In all things and situations you can be joyful. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the fickleness of life’s journey, but you don’t have to be hooked into the outcome. You can create space. Your inner joy can always be stable. Let the outcome fall where it needs to, while you always maintain inner peace, serenity, and wellness. This is the way to ultimate happiness, to leave the outcome to itself while you work on keeping your composure, happiness, and acceptance of what is.
