If your life is awesome it is because you made it that way. God does not punish those that are not on the path. The people punish themselves because they are not in touch with the creative force. The key to success is working backwards. First discover your life purpose, your calling, your gifts, your strengths, then proceed to do your work.
Most people work hoping they can find their life purpose.
Before they know it life has passed them by. The key then to letting go is to first know what your life purpose is. Then letting go takes on a new look. It's letting go with a purpose rather than letting go like a blind fool. When faced with difficult decisions always make a choice Don't sit back and just hope that the Universe is going to support you.
