Let Go and Trust
June 27th, 2007These four words, let go and trust, have been a major influence in my life over the last several years and one of the reasons why the Universe of Success website actually exists. Quite a few years ago someone said to me, you need to let go and trust. The person who told me this gave me no other information on what he meant by these words, telling me that I needed to figure it out on my own. However, not long after he told me to let go and trust, someone else told me the exact same thing. This time I asked, what do you mean? The answer began to change my life and still is.
A lot of people, when they first get involved in personal development, want their lives to change overnight. This unfortunately will never happen since to change your life you have to effectively unlearn many of the things you have spent your entire life learning. We are told to think more about our problems, our relationships, our work and everything else in our life if we want to see improvement but this is not true. What we really should be doing is understanding how to stop thinking and to let go and trust. By letting go and trusting that everything will be ok, the universe brings to us what we need in the form of the right people and the right circumstances. It is kind of difficult to explain how this process works but it does work if you believe in it.
If you do not let go and trust, what you end up doing is holding on to life so tightly by worrying too much that you end up getting exactly what you don’t want. What you worry will happen is what the universe will bring to you. If you give no thought to something you will never see it in your life. For example, if you constantly worry about being in a car accident, you will be. If you habitually think your partner will be unfaithful, you guessed it, they will be. If you break up with that partner but believe all partners are unfaithful you will end up attracting another unfaithful partner. On the other hand if you believe you will attract a faithful partner and never give any thought to them being unfaithful they won’t be.
Perhaps this is new information for you. It was once new information to me and I had a hard time accepting it till a friend of mine asked me, do you believe in magic? My answer was no, I don’t believe in magic. At that point he gave me a book to read and said I need to let go and trust. Wow, that was the third person who had said to me that I should let go and trust, that was not a coincidence, that was a synchronicity and I knew intuitively that I needed to read the book he gave me.
The book was about the power of the subconscious mind and specifically about changing your subconscious mind. I read his book, gave it back to him and then went and bought my own copy of the book. It was life changing for me and that book on the subconscious mind lead to another book and another and so on. However, as important as it is to read new material it is even more important to incorporate what you learn from books into your everyday life. So many people love to read these life changing books but never use the information to change their lives for the better.
Before I learned to let go and trust, I was always thinking too much and trying to keep my life under my control all the time. This is impossible and as long as you try and control life you will never get a chance to really live the adventure of your life. Our lives are a wonderful journey if we let them unfold in their own way. By clinging on too tight to life we end up suffocating ourselves while on our journey and restrict wonderful and unthought-of experiences happening to us. I found it hard to let go and trust but day by day, month after month I learned to let go.
Years later I now live a life with so much more freedom, I have gotten what I wanted by letting go and trusting in the flow of life. Before I tried so hard to get what I wanted by worrying about every little thing and trying to make everything right that effectively what I got most of the time was more situations and events that made me worry even more. Sometimes you need to throw your hands in the air and say, what the heck. I’m not saying you should not deal with your problems but stop thinking about them so much and get to work on them. Taking action makes problems disappear, constantly thinking about your problems only compounds them and makes it tougher to solve them.
The first step to let go and trust is to keep reminding yourself to stop thinking about your problems so much and simply expect everything will be ok. Yes, I found this very hard to do at first but over time life just seemed so much better than when I worried about every little thing all the time. The more you let go and trust the sooner this will become your new habit and then you will really notice a dramatic change in your life as your level of happiness continues to rise and rise.

I agree with you. Letting go may be the hardest thing to do, but it can also be the start of our success. Mostly, it’s about things we like which makes it difficult.

Ok, I agree with let go and trust but if the person decided that their left partners is the right one for them, can they include that in their intentions and how they do it. I really want my partner to come back to me as now I really positively think she the right one after she left me.I hope you could give me some suggestion or method on how to vibrate on this. My negative thoughts are higher pertaining to failures.Please guide me
