The Key to Unlock Your Happiness

I believe the key to happiness is to let go, surrender and trust in God, the Universe, the goodness of others, a Higher Power and let Him work through whatever you are struggling with.  What is meant to happen.  WILL happen.  I’ll be the first to admit: it’s HARD, scary, dreaded and can feel impossible.

How do you know what to let go of? EASY.  Anytime you believe deep in your heart that you “HAVE to HAVE” something or else…  it’s got a grip on you.  It could be a memory, person, relationship, car, career, the latest… or in my case, I thought I had to live in a particular place.   I was willing to live off grilled cheese sandwiches to live there.  The day I surrendered and let go of my dream of living there, I found a better, bigger, more beautiful place, lower rent, perfectly situated next to everything.

When something has a hold on you, it causes more pain to try and hold onto it than to let go.  Nothing worthwhile has to be held onto tightly.  TRUST that what is meant to happen.  WILL happen.  On its own timing.  Likely when you’re not preoccupied with it.

That’s the key to unlocking your happiness.  My happiness.

This year, I’m making a commitment to surrender and trust God and let Him have His way.  I know I will be tested but I always have the key to my happiness.  Keep me honest.
