I surrender

The last three eyears have been challenging, yet amazing, as I’ve had to stare down some feral animals in the form of my emotional make-up.

We’re all presented with lessons and signs that we either follow or ignore, and that’s certainly been the case for me.

It’s difficult to ignore that persistent yelling in our heads, that’s directing us to our greater good; hopefully & at some point we choose to put down our armor and surrender.

Surrender is not a passive state, but quite a powerful & active one, that’s filled with direction, color and animation.

My highlight reel is that I got married, & shifted my attention from having kids to focus on marriage, travel & the overall expansion my work & life. We bought a house, and I am introducing a whole new initiative in my mental & physical well-being including starting Jiujitsu at age 50.

Seemingly, these would look like acts of decisive actions, and they are of course. However all of that came to fruition from the context of letting go and surrendering.

Seems like strange physics how the more we relinquish our control, the more something comes into existence. This is a lesson that’s been hard fought and not easily earned.

And like most lessons, those huge changes in my life were just the introduction into the world of surrender that I’m grateful for.
