Surrender to What Is

Life challenges bring life's biggest lessons. This week was a challenging week one of those roller coaster weeks I wrote about in my previous blog, but in the end I learned so much that brought me to a brighter beginning. One of the things that is the hardest for us to do is to let go and completely surrender. You may have been told that you have to be strong and do not show weakness, but if you are fighting a losing battle in the end you already lost. True joy comes when you surrender to what shows up, surrender to love, surrender to God, and surrender to the things we cannot control. All of these things if you fight you will lose so why fight it spending all of your energy and bringing so much negativity into your life? Life is a journey a long journey through ups and downs, but it is constant what's good will change and what is bad will change that is why you cannot get attached to your feelings. During Yoga a pose becomes true Yoga when you do a pose and nothing else is in your thoughts, but that pose. There is not a hidden agenda and there is not a what happens next; you are in that moment without any distractions. Can you imagine how much better life could be if every day had that much intention, and you lived every moment for what it is and nothing else? Every day presents a new challenge, but you have two choices to grow or to shrink taking away your true power. I hope these thoughts will help you through your difficult time and not allow you to dwell, but instead surrender and move on to make room for growth in a new beginning.
