My Surrender

I keep saying that I have surrendered now and am fine with what is in every moment … and no, it is not that I am being negative or depressed. I consider myself extremely lucky in terms of the higher power having bestowed me with reasonable intelligence education, family, friends etc. As anyone else, I have tried to plan some stuff in my life (fortunately, I never planned too many, but yes tried a few J) and I have fallen flat on my face every time J . So, you may say if you have fallen flat on your face every time, then why is the smile there… well let me explain.

I tried and failed … it could be a simple thing like, which city I wanted to be in… it never happened. And then, I said, let’s step back and see my current situation… am I OK? and YES, the answer was a resounding YES. What was I doing, I was using all the energy that the higher power has bestowed on me to struggle and change what is… and it wasn’t that it was a bad situation. It may not have been what I planned, but I am ok with it. So, I analyzed and realized that it was a combination:

1.       I was not in the moment… struggling in this moment to create a different moment at a later stage

2.       I was not having faith in the higher power that I am being given what I need at this moment

3.       Most people feel that as a human being it is your duty to try and plan, try and change what is not to your liking… I was prey of that concept

I changed to the below:

1.       Stay in the moment … is there any problem with this moment- usually there is none, then pl make the best out of it. When you make the best of every moment, at times, you will find yourself in much better situation as the energy being used in positive way

2.       Whatever is happening is the best possible situation for my growth and depleting the karma account

3.       As a human being, I will make the best of every moment without trying to change it. It does not mean that I will not act, but I will not struggle for the result (suddenly gita gyan started making a lot of sense J)

Think about it … when a seed is put in ground and the farmer puts all the soil on it… the seed may think that what’s happening to me? I have been put under so much pressure and burden, but it is needed for the seed to sprout and start another journey.

We also go through tough situations (karmic) and feel burdened, but instead of struggling, let’s make peace with the fact and wait when we will bloom.
