Surrender is one of my favourite words. Until we can get out of our own way, we’re unable to feel the power much greater than our will, deeper than our thought & wider than our dreams. Surrendering isn’t giving up or a sign of weakness. When we let go of control, we place our faith in the universe to bring us true joy & fulfilment. When we wish upon a star, we place our trust in the forces we believe in, human or divine. We can just breathe, be simply present in the moment.
Control largely stems out of fear, attached to very specific expectations or outcomes. Ironically, the more we attempt to control things, we feel less in control. Surrender though isn’t inaction. We just take natural cues from our inner knowing & knowledge. It’s accepting what is, being who we are, choosing a path for our own highest good. It means being receptive to the mystery, miracle & magic around. Einstein said, “the most important decision that we make is whether we believe that we live in a friendly or hostile universe. We will never have all the perfect answers. Belief in our own abilities & trusting brings the best results.” When we just flow, when we let go of resistance, we give the universe a chance to bring us joy, abundance, meaning & purpose.
There’s a sense of wonder, curiosity, anticipation, surprise and excitement. We feel peace, balance and harmony within.
