When I first heard of surrender I didn’t understand what it meant. Thinking of things I can control and what I can’t control made me finally surrender, but what was I surrendering to..When we are faced with problems in our life we often feel better if we can control it somehow. I learned we can’t control anybody, not even ourselves sometimes.. When there is no resolution of what to do to a problem, we have a choice to surrender to something that is bigger than us, and trust that it will always take care of us, no matter what happens, or we can fight it and possibly sometimes move it further away from getting resolved.
But what is bigger than us and how can it know what we need or want?
I struggled tremendously with this. Growing up with no faith or religion I didn’t understand how surrendering and trusting is even possible to resolve my problems.. Especially something I couldn’t see or touch but later realized I can feel. We don’t have to walk around with the pressure hanging over us all day and night, if we learn how to surrender to what is, and knowing, whatever the problem is, it will get resolved with or without our input. I find every single time I surrender to the problem I have, I not only learn to trust but also that it will NEVER let me down and it will always be there with me. Even if it doesn’t pan out how I want it to, it always shows me the only possible option for me and it allows me to grow. So if I surrender how can I know that it will work out? You don’t. Until that ultimate perfect resolution happens, and then you will start to surrender more and more in your daily life, and ahh what a relief and conservation of energy! Now we can start living our life and put energy into what we really can do, instead of what we can’t.
Today’s Assignment:
Everytime you start thinking of a problem, say “change” out loud and return to the present moment. Don’t let it control you! Start to use your senses, listen to the birds, trees in the wind, the rain against your car window or the sound of your breath moving in and out effortlessly. Surrender to the moment instead of a future you don’t know, or a past that already has happened.
