Today we're talking about Live in Surrender.
Release your need to control everything.
Instead surrender to what is and ask the energy of the situation,
Person or event to reveal your soul lesson to you.
Simply ask it,
What are you trying to teach me?
Whenever you can't make things go your way,
Stop forcing.
Your best choice in any moment is to follow the flow of the energies that are already unfolding,
The universe.
So I find this very interesting because we always talk about we want to surrender to the divine,
We want to surrender to God,
We want to serve and follow God,
The universe one all,
Whatever the name is that you use.
And yet this idea of surrender,
It doesn't necessarily mean we surrender to what's easy or pleasant.
A lot of times we have to surrender to situations that are sticky or yucky or unpleasant or uncomfortable and we surrender to the reality that this is happening.
So if a person is abusing you,
Say,
Which is unfortunately common,
It's not that we surrender for more abuse,
That's not what this means.
What it means is that we surrender to the reality of like,
Oh,
I'm being abused.
We don't try to hide it or run from it or discount it,
We just see what's there and we accept this as the current reality that we're in.
Doesn't mean we can't change it,
In fact,
It's the first step toward moving away from that abuse is seeing the reality and just looking at it,
Asking the universe,
What is my next step to free myself from this?
And sometimes it's not as blatant as that.
Sometimes say you're in,
This is a pretty common one,
Say you're in a job and it just hasn't been feeling that great for you for a while,
But it's good money,
For example,
Or it has some other reason that you like it.
Let's just say it's good money.
So you think I'm just going to stay at this job and I'll just make it work and this part isn't good,
But you know,
Overall the benefits outweigh.
And yet the universe says,
No,
Don't try and control it and make deals,
Make deals with your job.
Like you're terrible,
But I'm going to keep you because you're giving me lots of money.
You know,
Don't try and do that.
Just surrender to the reality.
The job isn't working out for me and I surrender to the reality that even if I'm making lots of money or whatever the reward is,
It's just not working out and I surrender to the fact that it's not working out and that it's going to go away or I'm going to go away from it and I surrender to this reality.
I don't try and hide from it.
Let's see another example.
You're in a relationship and the relationship is not going well and maybe you just really want to stay in this relationship because you don't want to be single again.
So the key is instead of trying to control it or navigate it or,
Or make it work,
You just surrender to the reality of what is unfolding energetically and you realize,
Okay,
The relationship isn't working,
I'm going to be moving out of the relationship and this is where flow is taking me.
Now of course,
You know,
There's some heartbreak in surrender and yet it's the fastest path to getting us to a better place,
To getting us to a more authentic place in our lives.
So when you see these things come up that aren't working,
This idea of just letting go of trying to control it or manage it or finagle it and just surrender and ask the universe,
What are you trying to teach me?
What is my next step?
What am I meant to learn here?
And this will actually hasten your process to taking you to your next step.
