#21 in the Magical Journey card deck and the Journey of 100 Paintings Series
Let go of what you thought was “supposed to be.”
Do you think you need hard lines and perfect plans to get to where you want to go? When a perfectly planned day gets messed up, is it ruined? How do you feel when you resist events that are out of your control—like feeling unhappy during a rainstorm, when the sun of peace could shine in your heart?
What if there's a perfection even bigger and better than you can imagine? What if life is trying to express a magical creation through you? Can you surrender to the seemingly crazy brushstrokes of life? Will you allow the messiness of the creative process to continue until it completes the masterpiece?
Let go of the idea of perfection that causes suffering. Regardless of how you plan things, surrender to the perfection of what is. Allow life to flow from one brushstroke to the next.
Live in the aliveness of the unknown, the excitement of all possibilities, the “what if”! Surrender to the perfection of the present moment—right here, right now.
