What Surrender Feels Like for Me

Posted on by

The past two days have deepened my understanding of what surrender feels like to me.  Having to fly home over the weekend to be with family, my plane arrived at my destination around 10:47pm only to find out that the person picking me up was waiting for me at an airport two hours away.  I calmly thanked him for being timely, in another city, and proceeded to reach out to other family members.  I was picked up within 30 minutes and had the best conversation that lasted until 5:30 am.  On my return home the next day we proceeded to the airport to catch my 6:45pm flight which was a two-hour drive on a good day, however it was raining heavily and traffic was moving extremely slow.  I told my family member to not rush and that “it is what it is”.  A quiet calmness came over me and I knew that everything was going to be alright.  Quietly the diesel trucks moved to the right lane and the rain softened.  We made it to the airport at
6:19pm.  I rushed through the airport only to realize that my flight was delayed for one hour.  I calmly sat down, took out my journal and began to write what surrender feels like to me.

Are You Ready for Love?

I was just listening to the song “I Am Ready For Love” by India Arie and the thought occurred to me, how many people are truly ready for love.  We may “say” that we’re ready but do our actions support our words?  In order to receive Love from outside of ourselves we must first show love to ourselves.  If you treat yourself unkindly such as: placing yourself last in most situations; beating yourself up for something you did or didn’t do; rejecting compliments by showcasing your inadequacies; or simply just not seeing the beauty in You.  All of these actions, fueled by your thinking, creates the environment that you’re not worthy of Love.  And so NO LOVE will appear, NONE.  You really have to show Love to yourself in order to receive Love from others.

How Many Marbles are in Your Jar

A co-worker shared a story with me and I’m sharing it with you.  He spoke of a person who spent their week days and weekends constantly working.  No time for relaxation and/or fun.  After doing this for a while the person experienced a “humbling moment” that caused them to reflect on their life.  After some deep conversations with themselves they decided to make some changes.  The person purchased some marbles and a jar, calculated how many Saturdays they had until their 90th birthday and proceeded to fill the jar with that number of marbles.  Each Saturday the person would remove a marble from the jar thus reminding themselves to make the most of that day.  Once the person reached 90 years old the jar was empty, so every Saturday after that they considered it a “Gift”.

Empty but Grateful

Feeling somewhat strange today (sort of numb and super sensitive at the same time).  I’ve been in deep thought about people in my life making that final transition from earthly body to heavenly body.  The sheer fact that their earthly body will no longer be visible leaves me  feeling empty.  I truly believe that we are spiritual beings having a human incarnation, but still picturing the world without them physically in it makes me feel empty.  So the only word that comes  to mind right now is “Gratitude”.  So grateful to have shared moments with them.

Thoughts Become Things Quicker Than You Think…

Haven’t you noticed, are maybe it’s just me, but things that we speak on or think about becomes reality very quickly.  Here are my thoughts:

More individuals are becoming aware that they are energy clothed in a physical body.  They realize that the body has limits but energy is forever.  The more people tapping into this higher level of energy increase the speed of simple ordinary requests manifesting almost immediately.  Remember the old saying “what goes around comes around”.  Well it’s coming pretty fast now, so be mindful of where you place your thoughts or should I say your energy

It’s Never About the Destination, But Always About the Journey

Traveling to Sedona Arizona last weekend I realized how our simple actions mirror how we live our lives.  As I rode to Sedona I noticed how the driver of our car [name unknown] was accelerating and maneuvering the car, not allowing other cars to cut in front and speeding just to keep up with the fast-moving cars.  I also noticed other drivers leisurely moving along and still others stopping along the way to take pictures of the beautiful landscape.

The beauty of life is to take in as much of what life has to offer.  If you rush through life multi-tasking, over-working, over-planning and keeping up with others, you will miss out on the best part of life. THE JOURNEY!

I See Myself and I Give Myself Permission to be Myself

Today I went to see Tyler Perry’s movie “Temptation”.  As I watched the movie I searched for “me, my life situation” in the movie.  I didn’t see me.  Once the movie ended I couldn’t move from my seat for a few minutes, feeling something but not able to recognize what it was.  As I was driving to my favorite store “Target” an overwhelming feeling came over me.  This feeling said “be that person you secretly desire to be right now!”.  Last weekend I attended a Self-Expression/Embracing the Inner You party.  At that gathering I presented my inner Jamaican girl persona, wearing vibrant colors, large earrings, but mostly feeling a sense of freedom to just “Be” within.  What I now realize is that the viewing of this movie allowed me to let-down my guards so that I could hear what I already knew but was reluctant to embrace fully.

The Faster You Agree With Negative People, The Sooner They Leave

My dad told me something a long time ago that I continue to live by today.  He said “when approached by the devil, hurry up and agree with him so that he can get out of your way”.  When confronted with negative people, agree with them quickly so that the conversation ends quickly.  Many of us (myself included) debate with negativity somehow thinking we can change or make a difference, not realizing in that moment, the amount of mental, physical and spiritual energy being depleted from us.  It’s only after the conversation has ended that we feel drained.  To agree does not mean you’re compromising yourself, it means you’re preserving yourself for something greater.

How Do You Eat An Elephant? One Bite At A Time.

This past month I’ve experienced a lot of CHANGE.  A month ago I spent a lot of time stressing and dreading the overwhelming CHANGE I would encounter.  Eventually the CHANGE was upon me and all I could do was surrender and walk through it.  Surprisingly it wasn’t that bad at all.  Yes there was a lot to do within a certain timeframe, but I’m still standing!  What I’ve re-learned is that “don’t bite off more than you can chew”, and in time you can conquer anything placed before you!

What’s Your Story?

We go through life living the stories given to us by our:

  • families
  • friends
  • co-workers
  • mere acquaintances
  • detractors
  • and so on

Many of us are unaware that it’s not our story, while others try to live up to the expectations placed upon them.

At some point along this life journey, if and when you seek an authentic existence, you will have to discard others beliefs about who you are and begin to Live-Out-Loud.  Living-Out-Loud to me means to allow what inside to manifest outside.  Whose story are you living?
