Surrendering isn’t Giving Up
Surrendering is not the same thing as giving up. Today I surrender, I surrender my unrequited hopes and dreams into the care of my Higher Power trusting that a power greater than me can see things I cannot see. I surrender my regrets from the past so that I can stop obsessing about what I might have done differently and so that they don’t leak into and contaminate my future. I will not let disappointment turn into despair. I will stop fighting life, trying to get it to fit into a narrow path that I imagine is the only path. I will instead surrender and trust that things are happening as they are meant to happen. I surrender my deepest wishes and place them into unseen hands to guide towards wherever they are meant to go.
I surrender, I let go, I allow
All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
Henry Miller
