surrendering to change….inviting grace….

welcome to your life as it changes..

what will walk through the door? who will be on the other side? who will you be on the other side?….how about after meeting the courage to walk through to the other side again & again?

You cannot rely on anything. Things change. Ok, so this is where your choices begin. We can’t escape life’s essential problems, but we can change our understanding about them. We can practice reframing, generosity, and gratitude. The evanescence of things is the real reason you enjoy your life……………….Lewis Richmond

it’s a wondrous approach to life….to think that we have the ‘control’ we need by ‘surrendering’ is a wild paradox…… & it always comes back to the heart…

When we rest in the heart, we inhabit the present moment fully. We have a choice of what to think, how to feel, & when to act. It can be said that the more we want life to show up a certain way, the less chance it will. We have to surrender what we know to discover what we don’t know. We see that things are always changing. Peaks become valleys. Sadness yields to joy. And as we surrender more & more, we attract grace into our lives. The love & compassion, clarity & wisdom of the divine express through our open hearts……Paul Ferrini

can we be visionaries? seeing into the wisdom of our own lives? can we come to terms with what is most human in our lives? do we know how to take ‘time-outs’ from catastrophic changes in our lives, just letting them be what they will for awhile before reacting to them?…do we know in our hearts that ‘all shall be well?’

the art of grace….

  2. so often we want to fix or change what happens in life. sometimes it is best to just let it be…and continue onward. doors open and close, change comes on the wind, nothing stays the same; and suddenly, there’s a big reveal. What an adventure life is! Good post!!

    • love your positive vantage point….yes, when we keep moving, somehow it all ‘works’ so much better….stagnant, replayed outcomes dig in….in more ways than one….thanks Jeannie….

  4. I love this! I think the only way we “control” anything at all is indeed by surrendering. If you look at life in a very dry cynical way, what do we actually have control over? I think there are things we indeed have true control over and those things are the most important.

    As for the rest…
    We have no clue what tomorrow will bring. Had someone told me 25 years ago that I would be the person I am right now I would have laughed in their face. I had no intention to be who I am. Yet, I became exactly who I was supposed to be. Life stepped in, or fate, or destiny, or whatever you chose to call it and brought me to this point on my path. I think those things I could control, the things that made me…me were the greatest tools in shaping me and my life.

    The fun thing is I accept that. What is even more fun is that even at 50 years old I know that I’m not nearly done yet 🙂

    • It’s so telling that you call it all ‘fun’….such a ‘go with the flow’ kind of person always moves a bit more easily….it’s even more wonderful because you have perspective….you ‘know’ how different it all could be….you ‘surrender’ well….thanks for sharing….

  7. Some good reminders here–I’ve got the gratitude thing down really well, but am still working on the control issue; that is a major one. It occurs to me, though, that the harder I try to “control” the control issue, I’m spinning my wheels, going against the grain, etc etc. I’ll get there. Thanks so much.

    • Thanks fot sharing Caddo….it takes courage to be self-aware! Everything seems to be a pardox…loving & letting go at the same time is one of the biggest….Yes, spinning wheels is a great way to describe it…..Blessings…

    • Yes, indeed…..answers are overrated I think….ways to live in this world seem much more constructive…..thanks for the reminder George…
