On this episode I talk about surrendering. Many people think of the word "surrender" with such a negative connotation but according to Ekhart Tolle to surrender simply means "to accept this moment as it is". I myself have been struggling to surrender in my marriage. Fighting to stay together, holding on for dear life, but surrendering to what is and resisting the need to control the outcome seems like a much healthier approach. Maybe my marriage has come to an end? Maybe this relationship isn't meant to last til death due us part after all? Maybe we just need time to heal? Who knows! That's the beauty of it all. What I do know is that surrender doesn't require force, and that relationships should bring joy. Rather than continue to fight for my marriage, I've decided to accept this moment as it is. While I will continue to be loving and kind, I won't be doing so in hopes to manipulate or control the outcome. My story is still being written, her story is still being written, your story is still being written. At the end of the day It's ALL a gift. I take solace in knowing that all things are working together for my good. I encourage you to surrender in your own life especially if there's a situation that is draining you of your joy and getting you out of alignment. Today I encourage you to accept the moment as it is and as always to appreciate the blessings!
