‘VJ-Day’ marks the formal end of the Second World War and the end of fighting between the Allies and Japan. So today would be the perfect time to talk about the power of surrender. And even though this advice isn’t about waving a white flag through flying bullets, in a proverbial way it could be. There are few things more maddening than hitting obstacles as you make your way towards your personal and professional goals. We often spend too much time trying to figure a way around obstacles when sometimes all we really need to do is surrender. By surrendering to your obstacles you’re taking back your power and refusing to waste any more energy fighting what’s not flowing. Instead of struggling, you will now step back and look at challenges in a new light. The first step in successful surrender is creating emotional distance so you can view your challenges from the perspective of inquiry. What is the lesson you are learning and what is this obstacle teaching? The second step is to detach from any need to ‘win’ over the obstacle. Rather, start silently asking for insight or ideas regarding options to turn this frustration into flow and then listen to that small voice within. Lastly, give potential and possibility some distance and time. Once you again feel empowered by your willing surrender you will also find the flow and progress. Surrender and stop forcing flow and you will almost immediately feel fear and frustration melt away while renewed enthusiasm for the future takes their place!
