This morning as I was getting ready for work, my mind was occupied with a decision I need to make. I kept going over scenarios and was feeling some stress because it wasn’t clear to me yet what the answer was. Then the words and melody of the Beatles song “Let It Be” came into my thoughts: “Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be.” I realized it was time to stop thinking about what was concerning me for now, to “give it a rest,” so to speak. The words of the song were also a reminder that there will be an answer.
The song “Let It Be” presented itself to me; I didn’t consciously bring it to mind. Hearing those words and that melody helped me to remember to be open to answers that come from within. In our culture reasoning and logical thinking are emphasized. Although these abilities are useful in certain situations, the answers to personal problems come from the creative, intuitive part of oneself. They are the answers that come from the heart, not from the head.
