Just Surrender

Life is unpredictable, surrender to it.

I was sitting alone thinking about all the stressors that have occurred in the last year or more. Trying to make sense of it all, I became uneasy. Every few years, my life seemed to change, and here I was again, wondering where the Universe was directing me.

In the past, I sometimes overanalyzed and made myself sick, trying to anticipate what would come my way. But this time, I was too tired to expend energy on worry. I felt more grounded because I had experienced these upheavals many times.

While I sat at my kitchen table holding back my tears and trying to calm myself, the words “just surrender” popped into my mind. I then repeated the words “just surrender” out loud. I shook my head “YES!” and let the tears flow from my eyes. I spent years trying to forsee obstacles and control outcomes. Doing that depleted my energy and didn’t make my situation any better. It caused me to stay hypervigilant and exacerbated my stress.

I was at a crossroads once again but this time was different. I was going to be the one who decided where I would go, what I did and how I wanted to live. I had already been trying to visualize my future but the unknowing of how things will play out still put me on edge. What I did know is that the Universe has a way of shaking things up and giving us what we need whether we are ready or not. It guides us and when we are open to the infinite possibilities our desires can be realized.

Surrender! It was the only thing that I could do. I recognized that I have never been able to control anything in my life. I remembered that the other times that I have experienced uncertainty in life that everything worked out. I also thought that whenever I got consumed with anxiety and fear that it served no purpose and only made things worse.

I decided that this time I will “just surrender”. I will let go of any self doubt and fear. I will let God guide me in the direction that he wants. I will make peace with any expectations I may have. I will just go with the flow and let life’s magic unfold. I will create the life of my dreams by surrendering!
