A speaker describes a hot-air balloon rising silently over a lake as a metaphor for effortless ascent. When we release resistance and align with our purpose, we rise like the balloon, not through struggle but through surrender and letting natural energy flow.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. Not a bad view to wake up to here this morning. Grateful to be up here in Michigan with family. Family, God love them.

And the tendency is to feel like It's a struggle when that letting go, that letting go of the battle and letting go of the struggle to just allow yourself that natural force of love, that natural force of God to allow you to
