Trust and surrender

I have been going through such a lot of self-reflection lately. And let me tell you – up until recently it has not been pretty. In a nutshell, my ego was at war with my soul. I put up my white flag every now and again, because my soul always wins. I know this sounds really 'other worldly', but from a religious / spiritual / philosophical / psychological perspective, putting my faith and trust in a higher power takes a lot of surrendering.

I pray a lot, asking God, the universe and my guardian angels for emotional guidance and spiritual protection. But the thing is, as a simple human being with an often over-inflated ego, I have this idea in my head of how I feel the play of my life should be performed and more often than not, it ends in a totally different way.

So when my soul speaks to me, I am told to accept the way the solution has been presented to me even if I feel that it is not what I asked for. I need to remember that I have very limited vision and can only see a very small part of what is happening. Only a higher power is able to see the bigger picture and therefore able to provide me with the perfect solution. This is where my faith and trust come in. I need to believe in this higher power and myself, and know that everything that is happening is for my highest good.

All I can do is live in my truth every day. There is nothing I must do except to align with the Truth in the moment, and trust that everything else will take care of itself.  Solutions and resolutions will find me once I align.

It is going to take me a lot of trust and surrender to live this way for the rest of my life, letting life unfold for me rather than directing it myself with my very busy mind.  But, I am willing, and I am sure, that as time passes by, I will see and understand that what I perceive to be another problem will be the perfect solution to the situation I am in, and that it will bring many blessings and opportunities for me!

Trust and surrender is my motto when it comes to life’s little challenges.
