Love this about surrender (heyamberrae): "I surrender," I said to my fiancé Farhad over the weekend. "What do you mean?" he asked. "I fully trust the process of life," I said. “I have faith in what life has in store for me. There’s no need to force or try to control anything. I will listen to my soul speak. I will act accordingly. I will learn and adjust. Everything will work itself out." He smiled. "Life is one MASSIVE experiment!" I said. “So I surrender." He smiled again. What I’ve begun to notice is that in the ongoing search to understand, be understood, and plot our way forward, we get so caught up with proving that we forget about living. We lose touch with the divine force within us and beyond us. We lose touch with the serendipity and synchronicity that goes beyond what we could ever imagine, plan, or predict. When we surrender, we give in to our essential self and the voice that guides us forward. We give everything we have to everything that matters. We experience the fine balance of creative exhaustion and fulfillment, and allow ourselves to see what emerges just beyond the point of what we think is possible. As we push and challenge ourselves, navigating the ebbs and flows of darkness and light, until BOOM!… circumstances beyond our wildest imagination begin to emerge. Fulfillment. Love. Nourishment. Aliveness. Lightness. On the contrary, when we resist, we get stuck in thinking cycles whereby we try try try to find answers to our most important questions through thought. We push push push to force a realization that isn’t ready to be birthed. We devour blogs and books and old journals. We ask the people around us what they think we should do. We forget that clarity doesn’t come from being overwhelmed or confused. We forget that the answers are actually within us. Today I ask you to surrender. To surrender to delicious ambiguity, not knowing, and having to adjust as you encounter life. To surrender to the misbelief that you need to have all your shit together to make a decision and move forward. To surrender to the notion that anyone else might be responsible for the circumstances you’ve created in your life. To surrender to what could, should, or would have been had you done something differently. To surrender to your inner guidance system and the soft whispers and loud screams that are delivered daily on what to do and what matters. Today I ask you to surrender.
