Surrender Isn’t Passive
The NEXT LEVEL is Coming!
Many of us have been like caterpillars in our cocoons this past year. Like that insect’s habitat, it’s sometimes been uncomfortable with bouts of restlessness. However, while we’ve been homebound, we’ve been growing (whether proactively or passively) through our experiences.
Also like the caterpillar, we will emerge as a beautiful new and changed creature if we are strategic and intentional in our emergence.
Did you realize you were evolving in and through the delays of last year?
Do you see the months of deferrals, suspensions, and interruptions as an opportunity to take you to the NEXT LEVEL? Or are you longing for the past, regretting that time, and/or fighting the present while living in doubt?
We can’t change the past, but we can use the experiences and lessons learned from our cocooned time to take ourselves to the NEXT LEVEL.
In the past, I’ve written about how I choose to live a surrendered life. Some may assume that that is passive. However, it isn’t.
While surrendering is about releasing and letting go of control, it is not about sitting around, eating bonbons, and being uncreative/unproductive. It is about harnessing opportunities that are presented before us to explore a path that we may not have even been bold enough to dream up for ourselves.
I see surrendering as a proactive way to look forward. While I have no crystal ball and do not know what to expect on the other side of the pandemic. I have faith and trust that during my cocoon time of 2020 and early 2021, I was being prepared for the NEXT LEVEL that awaits me for the future.
