What’s the Rush?
The Archangels Discuss Enjoying the Journey
I hear from people often who are in the midst of what some people call “awakening,” and they struggle with a sense of urgency that I recognize and understand. Many of us are feeling this change in the air, and we have a new desire to change ourselves, the world, and to help other people. We often feel like something big is about to happen, although we’re not sure what it is, and if we’re not careful, it can turn into a feeling of anxiety or desperation.
Don’t do that! Instead, take a deep breath and look around you. More importantly, look inside you! Many of us are beginning to sense a greatness within us that we’ve never before considered. While some people continue to flounder in fear and uncertainty, many of us are feeling motivated to find a new way of doing things. We often want to help ourselves, and we want to help others. Hell, we want to help the world!
I’ve shared before that, when I retired, I attended a counseling session on big life changes, where the man I spoke to told me to let the plan be the journey. I had to learn to willingly let go of the control I so valued — which is an illusion, by the way — and embrace change as it happened. It was weird, but it was also great. I had to learn to let things (me) develop in their own time, instead of trying to control everything.
