We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
"Surrender" The challenge and opportunity offaith is to surrender to Gods will (the Divine rhythm, the flow of theTao) believing that however badly things might be going in this moment,in the long term you will attain your hearts true desire and your lifewill unfold in a way that is better than you could possibly haveimagined, planned for, or created with your personal will power. Livingin a state of faith and surrender is to reclaim your Soul Freedom. Aswith the dangling monk, you reclaim your Soul Freedom by answering thecall to let go of the bush. Choose faith and take action. Imaginethat you dont speak the same language as God. How could God thencommunicate with you? Perhaps God would close some doors and at thesame time open others. You would be guided to find the right pathapath of self-actualization and service to the world. When a doorcloses, it can seem like setback, failure, or defeat. Sometimes it willbe catastrophic or tragic, for example, when you lose a loved one. Butwhat will you learn from the experience, how will your characterdevelop in response to it, how will your spirit awaken, how will itaffect your ability to give and receive love, how will it effect yourability to stay present moment by moment, and how will you grow inwisdom? Your attitude toward adversity changes dramatically when youframe it in these spiritual terms. Consider that God may shake theworld so that which is unshakable will be revealed. We dontalways recognize or agree with Gods way of opening and closing doors.Our vision is narrow, and we only see what we want to see or expect tosee, just like the man in this modern fable. A man istrapped in his house by a flood. As the waters rise he goes out ontohis porch. Someone comes by in a rowboat and offers to take him tosafety. But the man says, No thanks, God will provide for me. Thewaters continue to rise rapidly. The man goes out onto his second storybalcony. Someone comes by in a speedboat and offers to take him tosafety, but the man says, No thanks, God will care for me. The waterscontinue to rise and the man crawls onto his roof, the only place leftto go. A helicopter comes by and the crew urges the man to board and betaken to safety, but he says, No thanks, God will protect me. Thatnight the man drowns. When he comes face to face with his Creator, theman says, I thought you were going to take care of me? God replies,I sent two boats and a helicopter. What more could I do? Whenyou catch yourself focused on a particular outcome, making judgmentsabout how something is unfolding, try to let go and simply be with whatis, while keeping an eye open for the silver lining in even the worstscenario. This could be a radical departure from how you are currentlyliving, but it opens the doorway for you to consider the possibilitythat something horrible now might be a wonderful and essential part ofyour spiritual growth, speeding you along the path to your highest self. Let go of your expectation of the outcome. Surrenderis more easily done by action than by analysis. Instead of thinkingabout Why is this happening? What is the meaning of life? ask insteadHow can I act to make my life meaningful? Your answer is to live alife of passionate detachment.
