~Osho
This has been my mantra for quite some time now. It is a simple yet powerful phrase which reminds me to always go with the flow and never be impatient which leads me to exert unnecessary efforts. I have been floating on a lot of things now, especially those that which I don’t have any control of. If I lost an object, I don’t dwell with it, I just let go. If someone accidentally destroys one of my gadgets, I just have to believe that it was meant to be. If a plan has been changed, I just let go, and allow myself to go with the flow. Yet there is one right now that I am having difficulty floating with, that is living without a partner.
I know that a lot of you would be telling me now not to worry because for sure the right one would come and I just have to wait. But for me, it is easier said than done. I had written a blog, The Art of Floating, which provides a very effective approach on getting what you want. It really works for me, except for one thing, finding the right partner. And why it’s not working for me? It is because I tend to ‘swim’, I actively search for one which should not be the case.
Perhaps this is driven by fear. Fear of being alone? I guess not. I believe that everyone is never alone in this world. We have friends and family. But then I asked myself, why do I need a partner then?
They say we are beings of love and that the need for love lies at the very foundation of our human existence. And I for sure acknowledge that need. We have so much love in us and maybe the reason why I am so impatient in getting a partner is that I am just dying to share that love with someone and feel the love in return. But then again, being impatient will never get me that partner. I have been telling myself several times to stop swimming but I am just too stubborn. but hopefully this time around, I will already learn to float and let go.
If I am going to request again from the Universe, I will no longer ask that I may find him. Instead, let him find me.
Namaste.
