We navigate life clutching maps we've drawn based on limited information then feel betrayed when the territory doesn't match our expectations.
This stubborn insistence on following a narrow vision creates a peculiar blindness a refusal to acknowledge the greater currents that might be carrying us towards shores more magnificent than we could imagine.
Consider how many of your most transformative experiences came not from successfully executing plans but from apparent disruptions that redirected your course.
What wisdom might emerge if we recognized that our perspective is merely a keyhole view of an intricate cosmic tapestry.
Perhaps true power lies not in forcing reality to confirm to our designs but in dancing with the intelligent flow that's already in motion.
Let's explore this relationship with life's greater wisdom through a meditation on working with rather than against the current.
Find your center as you breathe in and out deeply.
Take a moment now and settle into this moment.
Bring your awareness to the power of surrendering to a higher plan.
Consider how your best efforts as a trustee are enhanced when you align with the greater design of life.
Visualize yourself in a small boat on a floating river.
Feel how you can steer and navigate using your skills and wisdom.
Yet notice also how the current carries you supporting your journey in ways beyond your control.
See yourself rowing steadily applying your strength and direction.
At the same time feel the gentle power of the river beneath you guiding your boat along paths you might not have chosen but that ultimately lead to where you need to be.
Silently affirm I row with sincerity but I flow with the current of the higher plan.
There's no need to force or fight.
With your steady gaze notice any areas of your life where you've been struggling against the current.
Trying to force outcomes through sure will.
Feel the tension this creates in your body and mind.
Now imagine releasing that resistance.
Choosing instead to work in harmony with the flow while still applying your best efforts.
Experience the relief and efficiency that come with this surrender.
As a trustee recognize that your responsibility is to act with wisdom and integrity.
While acknowledging that the ultimate unfolding belongs to a higher intelligence continue breathing calmly as you embrace this consciousness.
The power of surrendering to a higher plan.
Carry this awareness with you today.
When facing obstacles or unexpected turns remember the river and your boat.
Row diligently but trust the current that carries you toward your highest good.
Om Shanti,
I am peace.
