LET GO

I recently pulled a groin muscle.  And, for those that have never had that experience, it is extremely uncomfortable.  I am very active and I have pulled groin muscles and other muscles in the past, but, for some reason I don't remember the past injuries being as painful as this one.  With this type of injury, you feel pain and tenderness in the groin and the inside of the thigh; pain when you bring your legs together; pain when you raise your knee.  You will also feel a popping or snapping feeling during the injury, followed by severe pain.  Needless to say, that any activity that requires your legs, including walking is very painful and awkward.  It just so happens, that at the peak of my injury, I  was scheduled to take a physical training admission exam for a program that I wanted to enroll in.  Part of the exam was to run a mile and a half in under twenty minutes.  But, the aim was a mile and a half in sixteen minutes or less.  Under normal circumstances, I would be able to reach those times walking.  I was stressing over whether I should drop out and move on.  After all, I had the perfect excuse.  I meditated over my predicament.  And, I was thinking that it was hypacritical of me to even contemplate quitting when I'm always professing positive thinking and the power to overcome anything with your mind.  So, I practiced what I preach!
 The night before, I let go of my worries.  I turned over my situation to a higher power.  If god is all powerful and pure love, and, if I was created in his image, then I'm going to let him do the work for me and heal me,  literally the night before.  What happened was not a miracle.  It was exactly what was supposed to happen.  The following day, exam day, I woke up pain free.  I went to my exam and I ran on the treadmill flawlessly.  At the fifteen minute mark, the administrator told me to stop that I achieved admission.  My daughter came with me to witness my physical.  As soon as I concluded, I called my wife and told her, "I killed it." This power that we all have to achieve and conquer whatever we want to, or resolve whatever we perceive as a problem, is real.  I continue to learn about this amazing power.  
 You just have to let go of whatever it is that is stressing you.  This power is omnipotent and omnipresent.  It is in all of us because we are all part of god.  It is inherited in our souls for our benefit.  Regardless of what difficulties we encounter.  It applies to everything, whether it is debt, our children making bad decisions, marital, health, etc...  There isn't a problem that can not be resolved.  But, we need faith in this power and to let go.  I leave you with the following poem;
 "My mind was filled with worry and fear.  My health was starting to fail.  I had sunk to the lowest point in my life.  I was a sailboat without a sail.  I fell to my knees and asked, "God if you're real let me know."  A small voice in the back of my head said, "I'm waiting for you to let go."
