Create a new possibility for your life

What changes do you want in your life? How do you want your life to be? What problem areas do you want to get resolved? What passion do you want to pursue? Take a few minutes and do some daydreaming. What is the possibility and the opportunity for your life?

This is important because creating possibility changes how you relate to life. When you are in touch with the possibility of something special, you become very positive and full of energy. Life becomes an exciting adventure. You have direction and purpose, a reason to wake up in the morning.

Find a time when you had the possibility of something special happening in your life: a new relationship, a new job opportunity, or something else that you were excited about. Notice how it felt to go for this possibility. Notice the joy it brought.

Letting go: The key to being effective in life

At any moment, your life is exactly the way that it is. This is true no matter how you feel about it. When you are at peace with the truth of the way your situation is, you become very effective. You may not like what’s happening but you see your situation clearly and can see what needs to be done. Look at the areas of your life that work great. These are areas where you can flow with whatever happens.

Now look at the areas of your life that don’t work. These are areas where you can’t flow. Instead of focusing on what needs to be done based on the facts, all the focus is on fighting the facts. When you do this, you create a state of fear, upset and tunnel vision. You destroy your ability to see what needs to be done and you interact in a way that magnifies the problem.

Restoring your peace and your ability to see clearly is the key to handling a difficult situation. It’s also the key to being effective in life. You restore your peace and effectiveness through a process called letting go.
