Got Shraddha?
Shraddha is a Sanskrit word which means FAITH with love and reverence.
We often think we know what is best for us and become attached to a desired outcome (a relationship working out, an event occurring, ect). Our minds fixate on what we “want" and we become tense, doing what my yoga teacher calls "over-efforting". We also become mired in disappointment when things do not go our way. Even when good fortune and our "wants" manifest, things in life are never how we imagined.
Life is one great mystery.
Faith, or shradda can help us to embrace the journey, to loosen our grip and to simply, enjoy.
Believe me it is not easy. The default mode of attachment and control is strong.
Shraddha takes a willingness to be okay with uncertainty.
A big amount of TRUST
And the ability to LET GO.
We never know what our future will bring,
But we can bring more peace and contentment to our lives if let go of our expectations and hold on to our FAITH.
Often we realize later that not getting what we wanted at the time led us to something even better.
