40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God
40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal
Rule 21
“When a true lover of God goes into a tavern, the tavern becomes his chamber of prayer, but when a winebibber goes into the same chamber, it becomes his tavern. In everything we do, it is our hearts that make the difference, not our outer appearance. Sufis do not judge other people on how they look or who they are. When a Sufi stares at someone, he keeps both eyes closed, instead opens a third eye — the eye that sees the inner realm. “*

Today, we are releasing PROCRASTINATION and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of PROCRASTINATION and embrace our true nature that is Divine Love.
Have you ever needed to complete something but said to yourself, I’ll do it later? This widespread behavior, referred to as procrastination, is highlighted by the age-old saying often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “Don’t put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.”
Today make a conscious decision to overcome the cycle of procrastination. Set a powerful intention to focus and take the following inspired action steps:
• Turn within to become aware of the thoughts and beliefs connected to your past patterns of resistance to getting things done.
• Ask for divine assistance to take the first step to accomplish any desired task.
• Trust that you are being easily guided in completing the next steps.
• Appreciate and acknowledge your willingness to change old patterns of behavior.

We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: It is finished.
Rule No21 invites us today to look at everything with fresh eyes, with the eyes of Loving acceptance. Instead of preconceived ideas, we can consciously choose to look at everything with wonder and openness. You will be shocked how the world transforms by this small change in your perception!
Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule, the text above, and the quote below. In your meditation, I would like you to contemplate on the activity described above by Veronica Walker-Douglas.
Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.
Today we affirm: Today, I release procrastination.

Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org
Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’, understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.
I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between
the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,
I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
Let’s walk this journey together!
