How to Let Go of External Control during a Difficulty | Being Human
Greetings of Peace Ladies!
This is the ninth video in the Video Series of excerpt readings from my book “37 Lessons on How to Gain from Loss: A Believer’s Journey from Trial to Triumph” which is a personal transformation journey of a daughter/caregiver who lost her mother to cancer and how she took her trial as the turning point of her life to transform it into triumph.
The book is much more than a memoir, an inspirational self-help guide packed with simple and practical tools, techniques and action steps created, tried and tested by the author who is also a Certified Transformational Coach for overcoming her own personal challenges successfully. She strongly believes in walking your talk and practicing what you preach. These Action Steps can be applied across life and are not just restricted to the loss of a loved one.
In her book, the author sets an example for others like her to model and follow the process of how to transform their mindsets of lack into abundance and loss into gain(s). If you are one of them, join her #trialtotriumph movement.
▲ HOW TO LET GO OF EXTERNAL CONTROL DURING A DIFFICULTY | BEING HUMAN ▲
Today, we will talk about the how our ego emerges as a giant during the turbulent storms of our lives, making our lives harder and more burdened than it should be. We will look into how our ego during these difficult times take us away from being simply human, how it imprisons us stopping us from being free and light. Releasing the holding patterns—the negative emotional energies—of anger, guilt, shame, blame, criticism, pride and the like helps bring back the ease and balance in our lives.
I will walk you through an intensely emotional scene during a plane journey of more than 24 hours from Bahrain to USA to reach my mother who has just been shifted from hospital to hospice. Can you imagine my plight practically stranded in the middle of nowhere—on the plane with no communication with the rest of the world. With every tick of the clock, my heart beat sinking in nervousness. Being over the edge, I still refuse to let go of my perfect reality which states that everything should be according to my will. My mother should return magically to well-being and everything in my life should go back to normal.
The moment I experience during this plane journey brings me face to face with the real reality—the falsehood of my stubborn ego that believes to be the Ultimate creator of my external life and its situations. I don’t want to let go of my control over my external world and my perfect reality. I refuse to submit.
But when the moment of truth discovers and embraces me in its light, I learn my truth. I learn I am a human and being human means, I have to fully submit, surrender and let go of my control. I have to choose God’s will over mine. I have to let go and let God take control of the difficult situation or of every situation in my external world reality. I am nothing and no-one without God’s grace. I come from a humble beginning which asks me to remain humble during the rest of the journey of life. And, when I fully understand my “humanness” and sincerely accept it, I can be human, meaning I can be free.
Being human is acknowledging and remembering the following fact that I am a free being.
You are born free; be free. ~ Huma Z. Ahmed
