When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.  – Henry Ford

airplane

To use this analogy, many of us are like this airplane. We’re on the runway, we’re giving it our best, the wind continues to push against us, the entire plane is now rattling, and we’re getting ready to give up because it’s tough. Life is tough.

let go

We know what we must do. We push a little harder and allow the plane to rise, then we let go. Let’s recognize our state, let’s become aware of our situation. When the time is right we must learn to let go, especially when we feel exhausted and know that we’ve struggled enough already. Let’s just go with the momentum that is Life and allow the winds to carry us. We don’t actually have to do as much as we think we do…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM letting go…
