Let it Go

Have you ever noticed times when you try and try to get a result and nothing seems to work, and then you give up or let go. Isn't it funny how once you let go, that things start to work out for the best? Perhaps that very thing you were striving for occurs easily and effortlessly.
My philosophy on going for goals is this:
Setting a goal gives you direction and helps you create the life of your dreams. Once you set the goal, become confident and trust that it can and will occur. And then, here's the tricky bit, you need to let go of it HAVING to happen. Or at least for it having to happen exactly as you plan. This very letting go, ironically, increases your chances of achievement.
Yes, you still take action towards you goal and do whatever it takes.
The distinction is that by letting go you open yourself up to going with the flow and seeing the opportunities that present themselves. It gives you the ability to adjust to changed circumstances. If you are limited to only 'one way' then you might be shutting yourself to necessary detours or shortcuts.
Letting go allows you to focus on and enjoy the process and appreciate the present.
