Surrender:
Surrender is about letting go and/or giving into a process that one has been fighting. Surrender is about getting off the emotional roller coaster that life naturally provides for us. In surrendering we often have to jump into the void of aloneness and loneliness. In doing so we get the creative opportunity to learn how to love ourselves instead of supplying ourselves with love that is always coming from an external source. Love exists within each of us...yes, it can be hard to get to when the mind is full of distortion, but regardless...love is always within us ready for us to drink its nectar. If we do not truly love ourselves we cannot love anyone else. Surrender for me often brings about a detoxification process where I have emotions that come up because they need to come out. I have learned to just let them come. Once they are out... I have peace. I find the power within me under all those emotions.

Choosing to be alone can feel like an addict would feel when withdrawing from a drug. The pain can be so deep and soul wrenching that many prefer to avoid it. Avoiding it causes it grow like a mold and this makes life that much more difficult to manage. There are times when we just have to be brave and jump into the void of surrender. Take your jump today! You will find the gifts of growth will far outweigh the temporary discomfort of your chaotic emotions as you surrender.

Be a beautiful disaster!
