In doing a job search, I saw two positions that were a little further away from where I lived than I wanted and were also closer to a town that I didn't like. So I chose not to apply for those positions. Instead, I applied for a position in the same school district, but closer to where I lived and in the country.
The Special Ed supervisor responded that the position I had applied for had been filled, but there were these other two openings. After finding out the these positions were of a type that I was looking for, I said, without feeling much enthusiasm, that I would come in for an interview. It could not have gone better and I was offered a job.
In thinking about this experience, I realized that this was an example of "your will, not my mind's." My mind had decided that I didn't want those two jobs, but the universe had something else in mind for me, and so I was offered the interview and offered the job.
My mind, however, wasn't ready to give up its control yet. Just before finalizing my acceptance I thought that I should have looked for job openings at two other schools that were in areas that were more attractive to me. But on reflecting on the guidance I had received from the universe, I decided not to look further (that would have been my mind in control) and finalized my acceptance of the position.
And because of my faith in the lord's guidance (I use the terms "lord," "god," "universe" interchangeably), and saying "your will, not my mind's," I was totally relaxed and at peace. I had no feelings of dissatisfaction or frustration for not having followed up on openings at the other two schools.
One more lesson of the benefit of letting go of your mind's desire to control and instead seeking and accepting guidance from the universe. The name of the game is experiencing peace; not letting anything interfere with the peace that is your birthright, that is in your heart.
