Let go of resistance

Willingness is an inner alertness that magnifies the connecting point between our human and divine natures. It is the practice of steadiness, receptivity, readiness, and response — not necessarily in that order. It means you may upset the status quo, both within yourself and others, challenging movement beyond current ways of thinking. Remember, not only our outer worldly selves are in a constant state of evolving, but so are our inner spiritual selves as we realize what it means to belong to a higher world. New ways of welcoming the unfolding present moment results from letting go of arrogance, pride, and resistance; all rooted in our shame. There are things that want to happen in the natural flow of life. Nothing of substance can be forced into existence. Willingness encourages perspective and opens us to our inner guidance, allowing a clearer knowing of when the moment is right to act. Willingness brings ease and grace into our lives, our interactions, and into the times in which we live.
