Time to surrender

You know those times when you push for things to go your way, but instead, the mess becomes bigger and bigger?

We keep insisting that we know what is good for us, that we know best…but is that actually true?

When we insist on having it our way, we cut ourselves from divine guidance and we struggle.

Oh boy do we struggle!

I know that for me, when I push for things I lose perspective, I feel disconnected and even stressed. Nothing really seems to work out.

What am I doing wrong?

Why is this happening?

And with each question I separate myself even further from my Essence, from the Universe and from my purpose.

So, when is it time to stop pushing? When is it time to just let go?

It seems like letting go of control is counter intuitive, it leaves you feeling like you will lose everything… but ask yourself “Is it working out now?”

Is the pushing making you feel any happier or helping you achieve any of your desires?

I say it is time to let go now! Yes, right now!

I say it’s time to give our worries and struggles to that bigger part of ourselves. You may call it God, the Universe, the Essence or even the Divine. Its name is not important, for some of us it’s that subtle idea that we may be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Try it, let go and just trust. Trust that the universe will guide you and support you, just like it supports all life around us.

And tell me, how does it feel to stop pushing and finally allowing for the divine to help you out?
