If there’s one thing I never quite understood years ago, when beginning my businesses, was how to surrender.
I let the doubts and the fears take over and lead me down whatever path it chose (which was often not one that worked out well for me).
I did all the things the “experts” told me to do to be successful.
I did webinars.
I chased down potential clients constantly.
I went to networking events.
I invested in mentors.
I did free challenges.
I hosted livestreams.
I charged super low prices.
…
I did all the things.
And sure, some of them worked in the short-term, but never for very long, if at all.
I always felt myself back at that point again - you know the one of feeling just so overwhelmed and frustrated with it all?
There were many times I wanted to quit. To go and get a “regular” job that was more stable (LOL to that belief!).
I had so many days that were filled to the brim with a bunch of shit I didn’t want to do, but did because I thought I was supposed to.
Every night I went to bed exhausted, and often not much further ahead than I was the day before.
Eventually I called in sick on the STUFF.
I said “fuck this shit, I’m not doing it”, and I didn’t do a damn thing on my to-do list that didn’t feel fun and exciting. There were 2 things left: “write something” and “sell ______” (whatever program I was selling at the time).
And then I did a bunch of other stuff that I FELT like doing. Stuff that most people would see as a waste of time.
I watched TV (gasp!).
I went to the grocery store.
I spent hours journaling.
I read a book.
I watched YouTube videos.
I scrolled Instagram.
I had a nap.
Funny thing is, that was the day I made more money than I’d ever made in one day before - and I did LESS than what I was usually filling my time with.
That was the day I learned about surrender.
And surrender is what has gotten me to where I am today.
Surrender is what allowed me to experience an $80K month.
Surrenderis what allowed me to launch a brand new business, in a brand new industry and have success with it immediately.
Surrender is what allowed me to attract in the perfect, soulmate clients that came to ME (no chasing clients for me anymore).
Surrender is what allowed me to travel business class, half a dozen times, around the world.
Surrender is what allowed me to write a book (something I’ve been wanting to do for many years now).
Surrender is what changed the game for me, in so many ways.
I’m not perfect at it by any means.. there are still days I try to force things to happen. There are still many times I tell myself that I HAVE to do something that I don’t wanna do.
But I can recognize it and I can come back to surrender.
And that’s just it –
There is always a choice and the choice is always yours to make.
You can continue to play this game of cat and mouse where you’re constantly chasing something that’s always JUST out of reach –
Or you can just say “I want this thing. This thing is mine now. It’s decided. It’s done.” and you can EXPECT the thing to show up, and surrender to the HOW of it, which will allow you to experience it that much quicker.
I’ve found that the more I chase something, the further out of reach it becomes. The HARDER it is to have it. And often, if I ever DO get it, I just don’t care anymore.
But when I drop into SURRENDER and I allow the magic to take over, I’m able to receive quicker, easier, and in a way that actually feels expansive.
You no longer need to feed yourself the bullshit lie that in order to have something, you first have to DO something.
Nope. Incorrect. WRONG.
There isn’t a damn thing you EVER need to do except decide what you want, declare it as done, and then expect it to show up.
Surrender.
It’s what’s required.
And until you learn how to let go, and really step back and watch the magic unfold, you’re constantly gonna feel like you’re walking in quicksand - working your ass off, but never quite getting anywhere.
Allow yourself to surrender, now, today, and beyond.
Surrender to the flow of life, of magic, of receiving - and you’ll see just how easy it is to manifest all of the things that you desire.
