Earlier today I heard myself saying the words I so often offer to people in crisis. “Give up your need to know”. When I first heard this phrase from Caroline Myss I felt enormous relief. It was so freeing to let go of my need to figure things out or try to make things work. This was true especially when I was struggling. There’s a big clue right there.
What I’ve noticed is that the energy lost in a battle to “brain things into being” depletes the creative juices that would otherwise rise to the top. And I also believe that it signals the universe that you don’t trust whatever divine process might be happening at this moment.
It takes courage to surrender and it is definitely not about giving up. Never. It is about trusting that you are being guided and that the monkey chatter in your head and twisting knots in your stomach will not lead you to the answers or the goal. Instead, allow what naturally and powerfully wants to show up inside and all around you. Make peace with the frightened voice that demands that you try harder. The truth is that sometimes we get exactly what we want when we let go.
