Well hello and welcome to my track on surrendering.

What do I mean by surrendering?

Well let me tell you it's a very good thing to do for a starter and something I don't think enough of us do on on a regular basis to be quite honest and I know it's something that I've really had to learn over the last few years myself.

The real power that comes from surrendering because here's a thing you know we can't we can't control stuff you know when we start to try and control the outcome of situations that's when we are going against the flow that's when we're putting pressure on ourselves to achieve something that we think that we want to achieve and we want to happen when actually in all reality it's perhaps not part of our life's path and we need to just let go and go with the flow.

That good old phrase that is banded about is so true on a personal experience you know it's been so true of my life on more than one occasion more than one occasion I can tell you and it has been when I've got to that point of no return when I've eventually eventually eventually gone okay I can't do anything else I'm letting go I'm letting go I'm letting go that sheer act of letting go you take all the pressure that you are putting on yourself you take it off your shoulders you take it away you just let go you let go of that expectation of what you well that whatever it is that you're trying to achieve you let go of it you stop expecting something to happen and actually you then start to expect the unexpected instead that letting go is so liberating it's not without standing that you obviously when we are wanting to achieve things we do have to take action we do have to act we do have to take steps to make things happen but it's about being proactive and causing an effect as opposed to being a cause and effect we need to be in the position where we can cause and effect but we need to let go of the idea of what's going to translate because we can have all these plans these ideas and what we actually want to achieve yeah when we try and force something and keep on pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing something's not happening it just continues to be the same it's like banging your head against a brick wall and in fact i've often used the analogy of you know if you keep on knocking and nobody's answering why would you carry on knocking on somebody's door there's clearly no one there to go and open it you can then sort of go and knock on the next door and somebody opens you with open arms and says come on in come on in it's very much about having intentions and having passions and actually it's when those two are combined is when the magic starts to happen but equally so you can have that intention you can have that passion that desire to actually make something happen however you have to let go of what you expect is going to happen what you want to happen you've just got to allow it to flow and when things when you've kept on pushing you've kept on pushing and you get to that point it's just not happening it's when you surrender i mean i can recount so many different scenarios in situations but the most recent being in terms of my year of 2023 of everything just not everything was against me i was being challenged personally professionally spiritually physically emotionally and there was something else as well and it was just all happening at the same time and whereas i'd always employed the mindset of everything's working out wonderfully it just didn't seem to be doing so at the time it's like what why is everything happening like this what i just please we just need something to happen i just need this to happen i just need that to happen and in the end i just it was causing me major minor breakdowns because everything was just oh my god it was my have to say in 58 years probably my worst year and uh oh my gosh uh and however the reality is once i'd let go things just started to fall into place even when i was trying to sell my house and the buyer had their i think it was their second their second buyer had then pulled out and the people were buying a house off my partner and i were buying a house off they turned around said well we need to put it out onto the rental market i said do you know totally get it totally get it i just let it go within a matter of four days i ended up with another phone call from my estate agent saying that my buyers had got a new buyer and then suddenly it was like bang bang bang bang bang bang everything happened and we ended up moving and relocating that's what i'm in the uk and relocating and it was just it was amazing and that happened when i let go all the time i was trying to make things happen because i just was struggling financially and emotionally my business had gone under and i sort of and i had stopped speaking to each other and it was just horrific but actually letting go asking for help that's not what this is about but asking for help too and just having that guidance and support and just going with the flow and just then starting to re-believe which i always have believed that everything's working out wonderfully is where the flow happens and when you're working with the flow of life of energy because we are we're just all energy everything's made up of energy we're more energy than we are matter so it's working with that it's working with the quantum it's stepping into the quantum it's that's why it's important to align with your you know your intentions with your passions because if you really truly want something to happen that's when that energy sort of drives forward it's all about recognizing the opportunities that are presented and acting upon them in conjunction with obviously this letting go too is letting go and surrendering and allowing things to to flow naturally and i have to say it's a much better way to live it's a lot less stressful it really is i've done i've done the stress i've done the stress however that's what i wanted to introduce you to today surrender and what can you surrender what can you let go of what can you stop expecting to be the result what can you just go do you know what happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't everything is working out wonderfully everything is as it's meant to be it what what lessons am i learning what can i let go of what can i just relax into because that's when the magic happens it really does thank you very much for listening and good luck with your surrendering
