Have you ever had the feeling that life is already planned – you had a certain idea or plan, and it all worked out very different? Maybe someone else who was included in your plan has a different plan or something happens in this person’s life that takes him/her out of ‘your’ plan. We think we have a choice but who or what is making this choice? |
We think, we want, we need, we plan. All this thinking is very tiring. Yes, we need to adhere to certain working times for our job, maybe plan our food shopping, having dinner with friends … and that needs a certain planning. But sometimes The Plan is different and throws a spanner in our plans.
The Plan, God, the Universe, supports us whenever we are open to it. It supports us even when we are not open to it – we just don’t notice it then.
With ‘our’ plan, we want it ‘our way’ no matter what the rest of humanity or the Universe needs.
I realised one day that I make very different choices when I feel connected with the Divine compared to when I am not connected. My thinking and my choices will change.
When I am connected to my inner heart and with God, I am fully present in my body. I am open to all that life presents to me. What is needed comes to me and I respond to it.
When I am down and out or simply spaced out and not with it, I am not present. When I am not connected and only in my head, I want to have things my way and when things don’t work out how I want them to, I react, resist, and fight the different outcome. Only later I might realise, when I am connected again, that what turned out differently to what I thought I wanted and planned for, was actually for the better, or a great learning.
I am learning to surrender to The Plan, which is universal and includes everything and everyone in the big picture of life. I am learning to be flexible, or in other words, allow and accept The Plan. It takes a lot of energy to resist and fight what is obviously happening contrary to ‘my’ plan.
I now only plan what is necessary and what is needed next. It is always presented to me when I am connected. I can relax (but not in the sense of sitting back and checking out) and then I have more energy for what is needed next. Thinking, planning, wanting this and that outcome is very energy and time consuming.
Have you ever had a situation where, for example, you are not feeling well and are not up to seeing a client or meeting a friend on that day, and before you get to decide to cancel the appointment they call and cancel or want to reschedule it? Or you think of a friend you have not connected with for a while, and they call you before you pick up the phone to call?
I find that life flows and is simple and easy when I go/flow with The Plan, and this is a joy. When I don’t, and I resist and fight it, life can get complicated, complex, hard, stuck or a struggle. Which feels better?
Life does not have to be a struggle or be difficult. There might be a ‘difficult’ situation, but is it really? It just needs to be dealt with, to do what can be done and even that can flow if we surrender to The Plan, to what is called for. There is nothing happening in life without it.
The Way of The Livingness is the way we live and do everything and anything in life. It is hugely supportive to have a sense of and a knowing that The Plan has everyone covered, equally so.
If I choose ‘my’ plan I choose the distracting energy that loves complexity, resistance and struggle, anything to stop us re-turning to our true light. If I choose to connect and flow with The Plan, life can be simple and such a joy.
