GIVE IN, DON’T GIVE UP
joy. Surrender means acceptance, peace and joy. As author Nicholas Evans rightly says, “Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.”
I am sure many of you would be wondering how can we learn to surrender without having the feeling similar to that of quitting. But before that, it is equally important to do a self-analysis and check if you are ready to follow the path of surrender and not feel guilty about it later.
When facing a tough situation in life, if you feel tired of forcing yourself too hard against the currents or events of life, there comes a willingness to change, and to accept the situation. You are ready to surrender!
One cannot experience surrender in one go. There are multiple phases to it. To begin with, it is very important to stop judging and compare yourself to another. Every person has a different set of roles to play. Simply put — let go and let God. It is about living each moment and not worrying about what is yet to come.
It is not necessary to keep fighting with life. One should learn to balance life between struggle and surrender. Being in this state allows us to be at peace because faith helps us move ahead very calmly and be at peace with the flow of life. At times, to save ourselves from the tag of being called a loser or quitter, we resist surrender. Rather, when nothing seems to go as planned one should learn the art of surrender by living a life of belief and reversing any negative or fearful thought with a positive situation. There is always something good behind every situation, find it!
For once, surrender your life into hands of the Creator and have full faith that nothing can go wrong. You have been a force driving your life all these years and now is the time to sit back, pray, meditate, relax on the backseat and calmly observe and go with the flow to whatever is happening in your life. Accept without resistance, it will help you to regain your power in the most difficult situations. The writer is a life coach,
