Make Surrender Simple

| The Tao Chapter 67 – My Fifth Interpretation|

The idea of surrendering the “important things” to Life’s flow may seem inconceivable and feel impossible. But if you are one who can appreciate the connections between all things, then it is possible. And if you practice making surrender a practice, it becomes deeply rooted in your way of being.

If you are drawn to surrender, but question or fear the act, try this.

First, choose to simplify your actions. Do what feels right and do not over think them.

Second, allow the time that is needed for others to respond and circumstances to align.

Third, be kind to yourself and others along the way.

Simplicity, patience and compassion make surrendering to Life’s flow a natural experience, even with the “important things.”

LIVING THE TAO: If practicing surrender is difficult for you, try applying the three steps in today’s inspiration. Breathe through the process and you will feel your way through with calm.
