Year Of Focus: Week 45 Surrender

“Surrender is like a fish finding the current and going with it.” ~ Mark Nepo

Year Of Focus: Week 45

Word Of The Week:  Surrender

to give (oneself ) up to some influence, course, emotion, etc 

Often the thought of surrender means to give up, to take the loss, to surrender the match. But I am learning that surrender is another reminder of our need to control, what we think we have control of. Surrender does not always mean defeat, sometimes it is our reminder to let go of the things holding us in place.

This year has been one of surrender. I have fought my way through the stress and worry of daily living. Searching for balance with work, family and friends while also providing the quiet I need to reset.

Letting go, is difficult. It brings on insecurity, loss of pride. But surrender is also the reminder that we don’t have control, even when we think we do. Grief is a constant reminder of surrendering to the loss, to the tsunami of change. Grief shows up within the change that comes with life. Surrender is the pathway to transformation.
