Giving up VS surrendering


When life hands you a whole lot of lemons and you can’t find the lemonade recipe…..

Many people think that these two concepts are synonymous, but in fact there is the world of difference between them.  Literally, the former keeps you trapped in this physical world and the latter opens you up to unlimited possibilities for good.

When we give up, we disengage from life, we detach from our outer world and shut down parts of ourselves (or all) and resign to the fact that nothing can change. And therefore nothing does change. If this persists, depression is imminent. At best, after a while, the initial intensity of the feelings starts to subside and we join life for yet another round…wounded and usually none the wiser.

Surrender on the other hand is about engaging with life more than before, opening yourself up to more possibilities. It’s about reminding yourself that you are part of a much bigger reality than just what you can see with your eyes. It’s the realization that you are part of a limitless universe filled with endless possibilities beyond human conception. Angelic realms and soul worlds and dimensions above space, time and natural laws. A place where your Higher self that knows exactly why you were created and why things are happening as they are resides (your GPS). And all this (and us) is connected to a Creator force (All that is) which is the source of everything. Just because you can’t SEE it all doesn’t mean it isn’t there. You can’t see electricity flowing through live wires…but you know it’s there.

The truth is that you are never alone and you never will be. To surrender is easier than many think but it’s foreign and therefore requires practice at first. All you need is an intention to connect with the higher world and gain assistance and guidance. All you have to do is ask. In your mind, out aloud, in writing. It’s just the energy of intention and asking that creates the connection that opens you up to receive. It launches the highest speed internet cable imaginable to the unlimited world of answers, guidance and assistance. It opens you up to all the universe has to offer. It allows for positive change.

What do you have to lose - giving up has no benefits! Take all the help you can get- this ain’t an easy place to live sometimes!

Live inJOY!
Be inJOY!
