Sometimes you just have to smile and let it go. Let go of the disappointments, the expectations, the mistakes.

This is something I’m learning daily. I am a dreamer and also an overthinker, an over analyzer. I set my expectations high. I imagine the outcome, building it up in my mind. And often, I try too hard to make it happen.

So, I’m learning to surrender. To trust. To be still and know. To learn what is for me will be. And yes, to find more joy in the present moment.

This doesn’t mean I do nothing. I listen to the nudges. I follow the signs. I trust I’m being guided and lean in to that, knowing whatever I resist persists. So, I’m learning to go with the flow of life and just get out of my own way.
