I did a little soul searching as you suggested, and came up with a recent instance of "allowing" in my life that has had a good outcome in my life. By reading your article, I was reminded of it, and the positive effects of practicing this "art of allowing". I want to thank you. By the way, I noticed in a previous article that you used the word (were) repeatedly when I think you meant to use we're (we are). Just an observation I wanted to send along your way with love & appreciation. Hi Mike,

I'd like to respond to Clea that for me Allowing is about not making what is happening wrong. It is mentally saying yes to what I am experiencing and not about taking or not taking an action. For me this has shown up when I am mentally fighting a situation, calling it wrong and struggling with how to change it. It was exhausting me. When I allow the situation, I am at peace with a difficult situation knowing that every action I take is a step towards change. I hope that has been helpful. Mike, I'm so grateful you wrote this article! It is exactly what I've been looking at this past year. Thank you!! I just read the article from 3/10 so forgive me if my response is not timely.

I have known I needed to create some income for myself. For a long time,I kept allowing or waiting and eventually it became a crisis. What I learned from that is that there is a time to allow and a time to act. How do we know the difference? I know it would've been easier on me, if it didn't turned into crisis.

I noticed the eyes, the head down or tone, etc. and I realized I was not allowing her to be herself, make her own choices. It was out of love for her, however it was also out of fear of life not going a certain way for her if I didn't put my two cents in and try to control outcomes for her. I've let go of that fear and it has allowed me to see even more how great she is, how competent, independent and wise. She is blossoming with that faith and freedom. It becomes a powerful force for a parent to love without the fear, to truly appreciate our children and let go. In that place they can truly become themselves and so much more capable to create a life filled with love and successes, which is what I want for her. She's much happier and I feel a lot better allowing and letting go. I began to notice the impact my wanting to control life for my daughter was having on her.

I saw the "Gremlin" at work in my life in a big way - sabotaging some important activities in my life - but I could not get hold of why. Finally, after months and months of struggle, I took the question into a long prayer session. In this session I asked and listened for guidance, affirmed divine support, and made statements of faith. In the moment in was cathartic, but later in the day, I had an epiphany on the source of this "Gremlin story". It just came to me as I was driving - clearly answered prayer. This has made all the difference, I now can focus on re-writing - healing - that specific story. This has had a HUGE impact on my life. SO: I suggest if you don't know the story that may causing you to do a certain behavior/reaction: take it into deep prayer/listening - and have faith that you'll get the answer, and you will.

I find whenever I try to promote/market my biz - the Gremlin starts to rear it's ugly head. I know this, because that's the precise time I start to consider getting another degree, certification, read new book etc. Not that there is anything wrong with those things - it's just about where it's coming from. Not the Real Me, for sure. So thanks for reminding me to be me, and I am who I think I am - and I get to decide who that is! Eve Perfect timing!
