Surrender

Sometimes we just have to let things go. What’s the point of fighting a battle you know you’re not going to win? It’s not about giving up or settling, it‘s about freeing yourself of stress, denial and choices (too many choices can cloud your judgement). We may be doing more harm to ourselves by trying to prove a point or to prove someone wrong. You have to pick the battles you know you’re going to win regardless of the struggle. Surrendering does not make you weak. It takes that inner strength to overcome the fear of being hurt. Sometimes we have to look at things from a different perspective. Actually, to surrender can be the price life asks in exchange for peace and the possibility of euphoria. As we age, we all know what’s good for us. But instead we choose to fight our thoughts and feelings. We tend to move in wrong directions because we think it’s the best thing for the moment...you know, to get that instant gratification. But just think about if you surrender and move into the right direction. The gratification of knowing you’re your own person, with your own thoughts and feelings and most importantly, making your own decisions pleasing to you and your life’s path. Be brave enough to choose yourself when others won’t.

Surrendering can also be your choice to heal. It’s an opportunity to have the strength to heal from your past hurt and pain. However, some people don’t want to be healed because they like the attention of being broken— even if they give that attention to themselves. There’s no way to heal in the same environment where you got sick. You know, the older I get the more I’m attracted to stability. I just want to be in a peaceful and non stressful environment. How do you expect your blessings to arrive when you’re too busy fighting them? How do you expect to receive your soulmate when you’re too busy entertaining a playmate? How can you naturally submit when you’re not properly lead? How to do expect to get that promotion if you’re too busy worrying about someone else’s performance? How to you expect to earn your friend’s/mate’s trust if you’re too busy telling their business? Things to think about, huh? Surrender to the positive aspects in life. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

“I am learning to live between effort and surrender. I do my best and hope for what I want, but I do not resist the direction of the wind.

Through surrender, I move from outer turmoil to inner peace. By letting go of expectations and outcomes, I transform a painful experience into a positive one, fruitful endeavor.

When fear gets the best of me, I surrender to love. When I release my resistance to love‘s presence, I am able to receive what I need— what’s trying to come into my life for my highest good” —Unknown
