1/12/11 Letting Go and Expectations

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.
-- Joseph Campbell

How true this statement is...Over the years, I have experienced my own challenges and have supported others through theirs.  Sometimes, we can get caught up in feeling stuck as through nothing around us can change.  Part of this can be based on our expectations.  We can get our mind set on the type of person we want to be or what we want others to see us as, the type of jobs we have, the amount of money we would like to have, the type of characteristics we would like for others in our lives to have, etc.  Our expectations are everywhere and can inhibit our ability to let go of what we want in life verses what life has in store for us.  There is love and beauty in our lives.  Sometimes it can be difficult to see this.  With this weeks challenge of letting go and personal inventory, have you considered expectations? 
Today is another busy day...I will not have time to complete my inventory but I am still thinking a lot about it....in some senses, it is good that I have more time to think.  My perspective continues to grow in terms of what I need to consider letting go of.
