We ‘try‘.
We ‘do‘.
……………………. can we instead just SURRENDER.
You may have noticed (most likely), that sometimes ‘doors‘ open for you, and other times ‘doors‘ remain tightly closed. How sometimes there is an easeful-ness (though not necessarily easy), whilst other times there is a sticky tricky mess.
Now. There is no ‘right‘ or ‘wrong‘ here – each is just (and vitally) an OPPORTUNITY to listen in ever more attentively. A divine opportunity to TRUST that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, Now.
To trust that this particular ‘door‘ isn’t meant for now. To trust that if we pause long enough to listen with loving ears, that another way will rise up. To trust that we can move with ease, even through the seemingly stickiest trickiest of landscapes ………
So when ‘the door‘ stays closed (or slams shut), instead of pounding upon it, forcing your way through . . . can you PAUSE, RELAX, and be willing to allow things to open in their own ‘time‘? And when things violently sweep through the hallways of your experience, instead of fighting in fear . . . can you prick up your ears to hear what is being offered to you as clear guidance? And when you find yourself in a bit of a pickle, instead of over-riding the natural order of things in an attempt to ‘fix it all‘ . . . can you simply SURRENDER IN TO NOW?
To be clear.
Surrendering, is not a doing nothing.
Surrendering, is not weakness.
Surrendering, is gracefully yielding.
Surrendering, is trusting in to the way things happen, and as best we can flowing with it.
Putting it another way.
What if it’s not you making life happen, but LIFE HAPPENING AS YOU? What then? Would you trust in to the graceful loving arms of Life ……. Or, would you try and do it your way anyway?
See if you can trust in to the way things are happening. Softening and relaxing, willingly surrendering in to the ongoing movement of Life.
