Pretty Savvy has a great article by one of Faith Style’s Feature Writers, Victoria Joanna called “The Art of Surrender”. As we begin the New Year it is important that we understand what that means.
“The art of surrender therefore is in understanding the subtle difference between surrendering and giving up. When we give up, we are saying to the Universe that we no longer believe the thing that we want is possible. We lose all hope and we stop taking action. Without action and hope, nothing happens. However, when we surrender we never give up hope for what we want. We hold the vision in our minds and we determine what steps will get us there. We then do what we can ever day to move us closer to what we want. We don’t stop moving and we don’t give up. But here is the key – we let go of needing to control exactly when it will happen or how it will happen. What we surrender is the idea that we know what’s best for us. We believe in something greater than that is guiding us towards the life we are meant to live.”
