We strive so hard to make our lives the way we want them to be. As you begin this day, imagine that you can give up struggling for a whole day. Relax for a while, and trust that your needs will be met by the natural flow of life.

The philosophy of being here now and letting go of attachment is a very freeing experience. When you do this, you discover that you're really perfectly okay; in fact you feel quite wonderful. You can just let yourself be, let the whole world be, and give up to the struggle of trying to change things.
