Allow It...

To which extent is the growth of a seed into a plant determined by you? To which extent is the blooming of trees in springtime controlled by you? The presence of this Universal Force, Energy, Source or God (name it as you may wish) cannot be denied or minimized to less than it actually is. It makes the Earth spin, and the rain fall, it transforms caterpillars into beautiful butterflies and night into day ; it does nothing, but nothing remains undone.

If we are able to accept that this All Creative force or energy does exist , why wouldn’t we include ourselves into it? If everything there is was created by it, so are we, and if everything there is transforms and survives out of it, than the logic would say that so should we. What is the difference between a seed transforming into a plant and an intention into reality?

I think the answer is “allowance”…allow things to happen by stop worrying, reducing the fear of failure and grow on the certainty that once the seed of your intention is planted and nurtured with love and faith, it is God’s job to handle the details of its development while you would stay focused on what you wish to accomplish. By being patient and trustful, we remain in a state of peace which is the only state of “allowance” for the divine intervention. Being impatient, worrying that something will come up to mess our plans, or losing faith when encountering the first obstacle , keeps us in a state of hostility and turmoil which couldn’t possibly be an environment where one would find God.

Few days back I found myself worried and full of doubts related to my project; it just seemed it doesn’t move towards the right direction and I couldn’t help feeling helpless with a sense of despair making nest in my mind. Days were passing by and I would be feeding on my negative assumptions while things with my project would be in an idle mode.

I brought up the subject with my coach and by starting exploring my situation I got to understand that the stage of my project was actually the stage I was in. How would it possibly progress while I was stuck? Why would it be a success when my belief was failure?

Realizing this was the first step needed for my detachment of the end result while allowing my project develop as a seed into a plant; just like the patience of allowing the transformation would be rewarded with the fruits of the plant, I know that by having the patience and the peace that comes with it, we would much faster enjoy the success of any project we might have.
