How to Let Go Through Love
Just imagine how motivating it would be, if you were to receive
confirmation from 100 years in the future that your present efforts, however
insignificant some may have appeared to be, have helped change our planet for
the better?
People who are working for the greater good often end up feeling
defeated and disillusioned because they cannot see instant results from their
efforts. Many start out feeling eager and inspired, wanting to make a meaningful difference, however, when nothing outwardly seems to be changing, they start to
think that they aren't making any headway after all and simply give up.
When it comes to large goals that take many years to complete,
we cannot allow an apparent lack of results to stop us, especially when what we
have started, has a long term goal, spanning many years. There is simply
too much at stake and the consequences are way too high.
Feelings of disillusionment however, can be overcome by acting
from a sense of love and also a sincere desire to make a difference, and then just
letting go. What I am saying, is that "letting go", is really a means
of expressing your trust in that positive difference which your positive actions
and thoughts have made, even if you can't see it yet.
Some of these changes may not be obvious for hundreds of years.
We need to trust that one day, they will become obvious, and then, simply
remain focused on taking those steps now, that feel right to you, rather
than expecting immediate miracles. Just as the Butterfly theory, shows that even
the most insignificant or mundane actions can have a huge impact further down
the line. Everything you do therefore, will make a difference, you need to
simply hold on to those inner expectations.
Seeing your actions as laying an important foundation upon which
growth and progress can happen later, will allow you to see your actions
as a labor of love that makes you feel good about doing what you can.
