"What is the greatest hindrance to my achieving serenity? DETERMINATION..."
I've got to LET GO of things, and place them in the hands of my HP. I'm actually getting glimpses of the resulting serenity; yesterday afternoon, as I told my sister, I got this sudden feeling of "whatever!" As I realize, now--I was letting go of outcomes, trusting that it will all work itself out.
I was really surprised when I read about determination being the greatest hindrance to serenity. I always heard, “If at first you don’t succeed try, try again.” Of course I took that too far and would not quit trying. I remember when I first started hearing about surrendering, acceptance and letting go - They were foreign ideas to me but sounded good. Thanks for sharing.
