I Surrender

Surrender isn’t something we do once in our life.

It’s a ladder we climb. A practice. A muscle we build.

It strengthens us. It’s part of accepting who we are, where we’re at no matter how battered we are so that we can evolve into something magnificent.

What is the opposite of surrender do you think?

The feeling I get is that it’s a combination of rejection and stubbornness. But looking it up it’s actually ‘resist’.

And oh boy I can act stubborn in specific situations. Wanting things to go my way. However, I’m proud. Not because I act stubborn ofcourse but because I am able to accept this part of me that no longer resonates with who I’m becoming and where I want to go.

Everyday I realise all the things that no longer serve me. I accept the darkness, and surrender to the light that is knocking on my door.

Every episode of surrender is different in time, challenge and pace depending on the darkness surrounding the wound.

Surrender is the shell of eternal peace.

I surrender.
