Surrender isn’t about giving up. It’s about letting go of external validation. Surrender provides the shift in perspective that helps identify what you truly want – the things that truly matter.
Maybe you’ve dreamed of having your own business. Surrender may be accepting a job that provides freedom and abundance. Maybe you’ve dreamed of finding the perfect life partner. Surrender may be discovering laughter and love in the intimacy and companionship of a few dear friends.
In surrendering, you maintain authorship while releasing attachment to a specific outcome. Relax into the knowing that all is well. There is joy in the discovery that nothing is standing in the way of your bliss. Nothing is preventing you from feeling perfect peace. Right now, in this moment, you have full access to all the happiness you desire.
It’s actually funny when you think about it. We expend so much energy building castles in the sky. Our aspirations are founded on the premise that we need to expend time, effort and sacrifice to achieve the object of our desire. In reality, peace, love and freedom, which are the intended outcome of those desires, come from just letting go.
All of your life’s greatest achievements have no more permanence than the clouds that float across the sky. Peace and well-being are the only lasting measure of success. In any given moment, you have the power to break free from expectations tied to external validation and claim your role as creator.
