July Focus: SURRENDER


SURRENDER

When we are willing to surrender who we think we "should" be, true freedom is revealed and acceptance of "what is" becomes paramount. Surrender is not about giving up your Essential Nature, in fact it means embracing it fully and completely. When you surrender to the "real you," self-acceptance becomes the order of the day. No more wanting to be different instead, acceptance gives away to understanding, love and kindness.

When we surrender, we are willing to release what we think is "right" for "what is." We are learning to accept. We can let go of the past we give the power of forgiveness room to blossom. When we are truly willing to surrender, our egos are put aside for the truth; the truth of our actions, our language and our thoughts. In acceptance, we are free to make the conscious powerful choices necessary to alter our lives without guilt, shame or doubt.

This is very "deep" as Elsiee says, but I totally understand it and it was definitely much needed for me, so thank you for posting.

Ps. That flower picture is gorgeous!
