“Surrender is the ultimate sign of strength and the foundation for any sincerely spiritual life. For surrendering expresses a deeper desire to transcend selfish struggles and transform negative emotions.

Surrendering allows us to return to our true and far larger nature. It allows us to move effortlessly through the cosmic dance called life. It is a powerful statement that proclaims the perfect order of the Universe and the crucial role we each play in its every Here&Now. Surrender and serenity are synonymous; we can’t experience one without the other. And all we have to do is resign as acting like the General Manager of the Universe. Surrender is saying that even though we can’t see where the river is flowing, we have faith that it will take us in the right direction, and – far more importantly – that there will always be something to caringly Do along the way.” ~ inspired by Debbie Ford
