Let Go, Let Spirit by Angie Skelhorn

We have all envisioned what our lives would be like. For some of us things didn't exactly work out. The child in us faded while the duties of life took over.

You never snagged your dream job or met that person who would love and understand you.

Today you find yourself under more pressure than ever in an edgy and unpredictable world. Meddling family at home and co-workers make your workplace difficult. We expose ourselves to bias, unfairness and injustice every second of every day we are alive. Removal, change and upsets can't be avoided. Unhappiness, mood swings and self doubt have been allowed to go on far too long. Life sucks and you don't know what to do to change this.

Instead of living in the past, try looking forward and seek a solution to problems. What's done is done. Looking back with regret, remorse and feelings of dissatisfaction about the way your life turned out will solve nothing. We can't erase our actions. Wishing won't change the 'what if's' and 'only I had'. We have all had our share of hurts. We are all fools on this planet. We advance, fall down, advance, fall again, advance, but each time we stopped, picked up the pieces to start again the experience made us a stronger person within ourselves.

I, like most people, did not like the direction my life had taken. I needed to get myself back on track. I decided for myself that my life had become unmanageable, that I could do more as a person than create chaos toward myself and those who care for me. I discovered the path of Let Go, Let Spirit.

The belief is centered on the communication with Spirit to achieve a desired effect: An intervention to transform the extreme to do the right thing.

Letting Go on the human level is to accept and release that which cannot be changed.

Acceptance is achieved when one sees people and situations for the way they truly are and not the way we wish them to be.

One accepts that they can't change anyone but themselves. You and you alone, are accountable for mistakes made and only you can make them right. Blaming others for the way your life is turning out is futile. Not until you care, not until you want to live your life, will you respect your life.

Present reality must match with personal plans. Take responsibility for what you want and need from your life. If not, you will only return to the familiar and find solace in what is firm and secure strife and destructive patterns.

To attract good and balance the negative, fashion your life around love, loyalty, trust, integrity and truth. We all want to be loved and appreciated. Pick and choose who you want to be and who will be in your personal space. Keep your wants simple and your needs basic.

On the spiritual level, Let Spirit means surrender to change while requesting and accepting support. When you talk to Spirit you are open to a new state of awareness to arrive at an answer. You will recognize immediately happening that catch your attention, strange coincidences that occur to point you in a positive direction. The synchronicities allow you to become aware of the answers that may appear in many forms.

Every day I confide in and seek tolerance from Spirit, so I can express myself in a positive manner which will manifest through right and proper action despite external pressures that oppose. I invite my ancestors in spirit form, a few words to express the desire to connect with unseen energies to be part of my every day duties as I do my best to do the right thing.

To live Let Go, Live Spirit, one foot will be in reality, the other in the spiritual. You will find that you will become determined to make things right in your life.

Talk to Spirit. Live Spirit, watch and listen. What is needed will be given. One of the most powerful things you can do for yourself is, instead of searching for personal gratification, be more invested on the good of all. Contribute to the well-being of the whole.

Not easily done! When learning life's lessons things don't always go smoothly, but if you try there is an opportunity to learn the lesson your soul must experience to shine.

If you come to the point where life is an all-consuming struggle, focus on the good. Your old values will slowly fade away. I know so much stands in your way with no money and few supporting friends. When you Let Go, Let Spirit, you will begin to make better decisions and risks for a better, secure future. The people who will matter you will recognize by their positive words and deeds. They will clearly mirror yours.

With much personal effort your hopes can be realized after initial setbacks and uncertainties. You can't expect complete recovery right away, but you can take satisfaction in knowing that if you try then you have taken your very first baby step of many more to come toward a content life, unique, like you.
