“You cannot beat a river into submission; you have to surrender to its current, and use its power as your own?”
-The Ancient One, Dr Strange Movie
The world moves with its own calculations and determined ways. We don’t have any control over how things happen or what will they be. But we do have control over what we would do with our limited capacity.
If we are spending the time and energy that we have on bending the world at our will then we have to accept the misery and failure that comes with it.
But if we spend that same time and energy, learning to dance with the rain that life sends us, or make lemonades with the lemons, then we get to grow and enjoy those moments.
To surrender to the current of life means to follow what your Soul desires, building your dream one baby step at a time, but let go of how the dream will actually manifest, when it will come, or even how it will end up looking. Sometimes you’re given a clear vision for it, but even then, allow for something better to replace it.
Loosen your grip on life. Instead put the energy on doing more of the things that bring you true joy and contentment. The difficult work that you’re willing to put in because you love the process and the result and everything in between.
It’s as if the pain becomes part of the spice of the food you’ll be serving and it makes it so good because you did it with joy.
The best example I can give is when an artist has been called to draw their own comic and they go through the pain of writing, rewriting, panelling, re-panelling, doubting their whole existence, getting in the flow, falling out of the flow, coloring, inking, re-doing it, struggling with the backgrounds, and then comes the dialogues… sounds horrible right? But the artist will enjoy it through the pain and the result will be that much more beautiful and valuable :)
So, surrender to the current. Let your energy be focused more on the next step of your journey rather than controlling your whole life path.
We are in the first stage of learning to quiet our brain and connect with our Soul.
Chapter 1 will be all about Surrender, and learning to let go to gain control :)
