PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Living without expectations of outcome and living in the moment can be somewhat disconcerting.  As I am no longer trying to control the outcomes of my life, my life takes twists and turns, particularly when making major life changes.  I believe my lesson in all this is to be at peace with any outcome as it no longer matters what that outcome is.  I don’t need to control it, don’t need to know the actual outcome, nor do I care about the results.

I am not saying that I do not work hard to meet deadlines or complete what needs to be accomplished for my future.  I am not saying that at all. Although, I am saying that I do my very best in whatever endeavor I choose, then allow the Universe to do the rest.  I do not try to anticipate what will happen, I do not force others to do something unethical or not good for them, but I simply wait and see.

Wherever my path leads me, I will go and find happiness where I am in the moment.  This way of living is so new for me, as I always controlled every aspect of my life including those around me.  I controlled, controlled, controlled, because it made me feel safe as I never felt in control due to my childhood trauma.  My life is different now, and I do not deceive myself by faking it, but truly and genuinely live without expectations of outcome.

Living in the moment is a true sense of freedom as we do not have regrets about our past, or expectations of our future.   Whatever the outcome, I will be happy, and isn’t that what true happiness is?  May you find true happiness in your life!  (Copyright 2014 Living Wide Awake with All Rights Reserved)
