<\/p>\nWe are all creators of our own reality. Our thoughts are what manifest into the kind of lives we lead. Part of the manifesting process is letting go and trusting that the universe will deliver what we have asked for. But sometimes we get scared that if we let go, our dreams might not come true, as though the universe didn’t hear our order the first time. However, if we don’t let go, we try to force the hand of the universe and things don’t flow. One must learn to release control. Because the power of the universe is not in our hands. \u00a0Dreams are delicate, like a butterfly. If you hold onto them tightly, then surely you will crush it. But if you hold out your hand and allow it to come to you, it will land into your hand. This is how you catch butterflies and this is how you catch your dreams.<\/p>\n
