Being willing

There are times when we question the effectiveness of our affirmations. We keep putting them out there and nothing seems to be happening. When this occurs, it may be time to reevaluate our state of mind and step back in the process. I was having a particularly hard time with an affirmation I had related to a business deal. When I was open to my feelings and thoughts behind it, I realized that they did not reflect what was truly going on for me. I then decided to affirm that I was willing to accept another way of looking at this situation. When I did this there was a shift in my attitude toward the situation and the other party responded with a solution that was even better than what I had included in my affirmation. Sometimes all that is required is that we be open and willing to the Universe's plan for us and then release the outcome. It supports what I know about the benevolence and wisdom of the Universe and I am again reminded that it works. What do you need to be willing to surrender to gain peace of mind and direction?
