“To live your life without expectation - without the need for specific results - that is freedom. That is Godliness”
- Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God
Dear Wise Women,
Can you imagine what it would feel like to live truly free of expectations? To live free of the expectations others put onto us, free of the expectations that we put onto others…and, most of all, free from the expectations we put onto ourselves?
Even if it seems impossible to the mind, just imagine how the body would feel. Suspend the resistance of your mind, for just a moment, and give your body permission to fully let go of all expectations.
Just let them all float away.
Now turn inwards to feel the space that has opened up from this release. Notice how the space that once felt very tight, small and constricted suddenly has become light, vast and expansive.
Let yourself drop into the space. Marinate in it. And, then, take it one step further, let yourself dissolve into it.
Do not worry…you will not disappear…rather you will be found.
For you are this space. You are creation.
And in this remembering you access your fullest potential.
Let us remember together,
Love Patti
I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.
I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.
I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.
I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.
I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.
I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.
I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence walking with the wisdom of the heart.
I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.
I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.
And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.
I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.
I respect and approve.
I honor the Divinity in me and in you.
We are free.
