Daily Gratitude: I can tell you that this is absolutely true. It began when I developed epilepsy at age 21. There went all my desires to become a neurosurgeon. Whoosh. Down the drain.

But at least I could still be a doctor. My life ended up perfect! And it still is perfect.

I didn’t let go willingly. That would have been too easy. But I had no choice in the matter. This often happens. And too many times we fight and resist. But you know what? The universe will win every single time. So it’s much better if you can just let go and ask your higher power what it is you’re supposed to do. It will show you.

Instead of the answer (what’s supposed to happen?) being considered an intruder at your door, invite the unknown in and ask it to stay awhile. Tell it to have a seat and ask it to share its wisdom with you. Then grab a cup of coffee and pull up a chair. Sit back and listen to its guidance.

It will be the best thing you ever do!
