What if I release desire?
What if I release clarity—or the need to know the outcome or the “how”?
What if I release trying to “manifest”?
What if I release personal preferences and wants?
What if I release needing to know my next step?
What would that look like?
What if I embrace surrender?
What if I embrace trust—in myself, my intuition, and the forever loving guidance of the universe?
What if I could just let life flow?
What if I could release outcomes?
What if I could embrace natural expansion and growth?
What if instead of feeling scattered, I allow myself to feel led and guided by one thing only: the love of god and the universe?
What if I release all the identities I’ve had, claimed, or sought?
What if I allow God and the Universe to move and actualize through me?
What if I trust that I’m always divinely led and guided?
I know that I constantly worry about the “how”… How to attract clients, how to get clarity, how to find purpose, how to hone in on what I actually want, how to find my next steps, how to bring in money. And on and on…
What if I just… let that all go?
What if I don’t need to know what I want or how it looks?
What if I don’t need to know how clients and money will show up?
What if I don’t need to know any of this?
What if I could free my mind, body, and spirit of that constant question of “how” and just trust that life will lead and guide me to the people, places, situations, and work where I can best serve?
How freeing would that feel?
Leaning into that trust, surrendering what could be for what is, right now, in this very moment.
So…
What if I let go of the “plan”?
What if I release the chase?
What if I let go of the vision?
What if I release the need to have a vision at all?
What if I release any thought of the future and instead stand fully present in the here and now, and know without a shadow of a doubt, that I’m exactly where I need to be and that life and the universe are always working out in my favor?
***
Can I tell you that a weight truly lifted from my head after writing all this out, a weight that I didn’t even know was there?
Just the idea of releasing the need to know or plan or do anything like that… To just let yourself be.
Surrendered to the moment, surrendered to life.
There’s something so freeing about not having to worry about what it is I want and instead have life lived through me as I go.
“I didn’t want to be in charge of my life; I wanted to be free to soar far beyond myself. Let the flow of life be in charge. If life brought events in front of me, I would treat them as if they are meant to take me beyond myself.”
– Michael A. Singer, The Surrender Experiment
It’s a new moon in Pisces today… And this is where my head and heart is. My contemplation today took me down this road. It feels vulnerable yet somehow incredibly freeing. Perhaps I’m embarking on my own kind of surrender experiment.
There are all these pressures—from society, family, friends, work, ourselves—so I guess I’m just wondering what happens when you let those pressures, demands, expectations, and questions fly away. I’ll leave you with this final question that I’m feeling into.
What if what I want is just to surrender and expand into my fullest potential—in this moment and every moment hereafter—even if I have no idea what that looks like?
I am willing to trust and surrender to something greater to find out.
