Is Surrender an Act of Strength or Weakness? What I Found Out That Made Me Stronger!

This means getting into acceptance of what is. I remember when I first read that definition in Maryann Williamson’s book, “ A Return to Love.”

It was over sixteen years ago when I read that book for the first time and it was Maryann that gave me the explanation where I really understood what the word surrender meant. Since then I have read that book ten more times and have passed it on to countless friends and clients.

To really understand this concept go on a journey with me here...

Imagine what your life would be like if you truly understand how to simply let go and be the flow…

Picture a life that is free, painless and happy.

Take your time and really feel the shift when you let go of all the worry and stress.

Just breath deep and let gooooo... as you let go see all the stress leaving your body.

Let go and relax to where each muscle is releasing of all the tension. Feel Better? Now let's go on the mind journey of this concept. Surrender is one of my many self development tools that is available to you.

This article is inspired by the movie I watched last night, “First Snow.” If you haven’t seen the movie it is worth seeing, it not only has a great message it is very entertaining.

In the movie the main character has only a limited time to live. He finds this out by the way of a fortune teller. He spends the first part of the movie in denial the second part in fear and resistance and the last part in acceptance. To me that is surrender, acceptance.

I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet so I won’t tell you the end but I will say this, his troubles ended when he surrendered to the idea that his fate was his fate and the only power he had was how he was going to deal with it not change it.

The most powerful part of that concept comes with the next piece. Once you have accepted something the way it is, there is space around it. It no longer affects you. When it no longer affects you it sets you free.

Let’s take a for instance, you are in a relationship with a business partner and your partner has different ideas about how to deal with certain aspects of the business. Now you can use this example in your personal relationship as well. You have one idea of what you think a romantic relationship is suppose to be like and your partner has another.

These two different ideas start to cause conflict. Why? Because when you are not in surrender mode you are in control mode. Instead of accepting that your partner has one way of thinking and you have another you want to get that person to come over to your side. This will always cause conflict, because you are trying to change the person’s idea or way of thinking and if they resist that there will be a problem. Most people will resist even if they want to change, because that is natural when you are forcing something on someone.

In surrender you are not trying to get anyone to see your side. You have your side and they have theirs and neither one is right and neither one is wrong. They are both just what they are. It doesn’t mean you have to go to their side, it means it’s okay that you both don’t agree.

Sometimes you have to decide where to go from there and if it’s business the decision will have to be made so you can move forward. That can happen without your partner having to change who they are in the process.

I have had to surrender many times when dealing with other people in business and romantic relationships. It didn’t mean I agreed with them it just meant I wasn’t going to try and change them. I would find a way to work with them or move on.

You really have two choices you can either let go and turn it over to the powers that be or you can fight. If you chose to fight in the end no one wins.

It isn’t about me being right or the other person being wrong, it is allowing us both to look at the same situation and have different opinions and not try to change it.

If we all knew how to surrender more often imagine what the world would be like? Can you imagine what a world would be like if we didn’t fight everything? I don’t mean where you let people walk all over you I mean where you know the difference between what you can and can’t change. It would be pretty amazing!

How has surrender shown up in your life?

Let me know what your thoughts are about it. If you have any questions about how to go about it in a certain situation or how it has affected your life. Let’s discuss this…

I wish for you all the happiness and peace the Universe has to offer.

“To be in alignment with what is means to be in a relationship of inner nonresistance with what happens.” Eckhart Tolle
