The path of radical surrender
Spiritual surrender is not about giving up or excusing ourselves from making choices.
It's about surrendering to our highest good by making choices that genuinely nourish our mind, body, + soul.
The path of radical surrender is rare internal + external territory, pregnant with divinely orchestrated opportunity + synchronistic surprise.
We intrinsically desire it, yet we often distance ourselves from this path by ignoring our intuition + inner guidance for far too long...
We repeat familiar yet misaligned habits + choices.
We stay at that job we don't love + cling to relationships that drain us day in + day out.
We coast through years on autopilot, just "going with the flow" + doing what feels logical + safe... only to wonder why we feel restless, empty, + unfulfilled.
Caught in a haze of confusion + burnout, asking ourselves where the hell we went wrong.
The problem with confusing surrender with "going with the flow" or "doing what's right" is that being spiritually aligned + fulfilled doesn't just happen nor does it come from following culturally prescribed standards of right vs. wrong.
There is no one-size-fits-all life path.
To get clear on what's right for us, we have to tune in + discern what our own Soul is calling out for. But make no mistake - inner attunement requires the courage to listen openly + surrender to the truths that follow.
Your heart isn't going to tell you the honest truth if you're only willing to hear it when it's convenient + easy to digest.
And whether we choose to honor our evolving truths or not determines the level of resistance + flow we feel as we move through our earthly journey.
But how do we know if we're really surrendered?
If you're listening to your highest truth, you're creating a life you genuinely want to live.
A life that inspires you to radically embrace who you are + why you're here.
You're in touch with what YOU actually want + need to thrive, which is often not what THEY taught you to want or expect of you.
Those who are authentically surrendered let go of other people's standards of success, happiness, + "being enough" in order to birth their unique dreams + desires from a place beyond logic + the mind.
They're living from the heart and it shows.
We know it when we see it because we're naturally inspired by these people + their stories. They mirror our deepest desires to live life on our own terms as our true selves.
Your True Self is calling you into the energy of surrender, are you answering?
Are you waiting for someone to tell you what to do or where to go?
Do you expect fulfillment from something just because it makes other people happy (i.e. - job, relationship, body image, lifestyle, house, income, possessions, achievement, followers)?
What are you currently surrendered to?
Is it drawing you closer to your highest expression of Divine Love?
May you hear the inner whisper.
May you follow intuition over fear.
May you choose to be authentic over being liked, chosen, or praised.
May you faithfully walk the inner path.
May you surrender to your Soul.
