There is Great Power in Surrender


There is Great Power in Surrender

In our high achieving society, hard work and strife are often viewed as the means to succeeding greatly.  The concept of surrender and letting go is devalued and misunderstood as a lack or loss of control.

It is of course the opposite.  We struggle in life when we do not know who we are. The masquerade of our ego leads one to believe that since life is a jungle, we must learn to fight and compete to overcome adversity and achieve our goals.  This belief will break us down and lead us to self-destruct eventually.

It takes knowledge and acceptance of our total self to surrender and let go. True achievement comes when we forsake our forceful drive and egotistical pursuits and harness the awesome power of Universal energy and its infinite intelligence. 

Going with the flow of the river of life will take us faster to our destination than forcing our way upstream, regardless of how many detours.  And when we get there, we feel refreshed and empowered instead of stressed, broken and empty. So lose the oars, listen to your inner guidance and trust your heart.
