Benefiting from inspiration requires trusting that it will happen. It's funny... I have complete trust that my next inhale will just follow my exhale, but I don't have that faith when it comes to knowing the answer to something.
Inspiration is inspiration, right?
Wanting to control everything is very tiring! I have everything in life sorted according to likes and dislikes, which are devised arbitrarily according to the whims of my constantly changing mind. Yet, I trust my mind's ability to make these decisions even though I don't trust anything else to happen beyond my control. I was reading in The Wisdom of Yoga" about the ego and its desire to self-preserve at all costs. That explains why I struggle with my efforts to lessen its stranglehold on my actions.
Maybe I need to be just as faithful that I can compassionately change these patterns as I am that the air I need will come into my lungs.
