Surrendight - It's All You've Got!
June 06, 2019
Every challenge in life presents three opportunities:
-
To surrender what you cannot control.
-
To fight the impulse to control by choosing Truth and trust.
-
To embrace the struggle that transforms you.
This is Surrendight.
Trust or Control
My journey has taught me that every circumstance in life generates an emotion to experience and a choice to make. Those emotions may be positive or negative, but in themselves they are neither right nor wrong. They simply are.
What determines the outcome is not the emotion itself, but the belief I choose to attach to it. That belief shapes my state of being, and I alone am responsible for the outcome of that choice.
I've learned that there are two fundamental responses to every emotion: Trust or Control. Because they are polar opposites, they cannot be chosen simultaneously. Every emotion becomes an invitation to choose one or the other.
The Truth is, it's all about the CHOICE I CHOOSE!
What's Your Belief?
If I choose to embrace struggle, surrender what I cannot control, and trust Truth, the natural result is peace, regardless of my circumstances. Living in a state of peace allows solutions to emerge at the right time and in the best possible way.
If I choose control instead, the natural result is disharmony. Disharmony creates troublesome roadblocks that prevent me from seeing the very answers I am searching for.
-
Event → Emotion → Choice → Trust → Peace → Solutions
-
Event → Emotion → Choice → Control → Disharmony → Trouble
The Expectations Box
Being human means I have a tendency to create expectations about how, when and what solutions should look like. When those expectations are delayed, blocked or unmet, I experience additional emotions, usually frustration, dissapointment or anger.
I've also discovered that pride often prevents me from recognizing that I created those expectations in the first place. Without realizing it, I build walls around the very solution I'm hoping for, limiting possibilities that could otherwise unfold.
The resolution is to return once again to surrender, fight for my right to choose Truth and trust, and willingly release my self-created expectations.
The Surrendight Choice
I created a new word to describe this process because I couldn't find one that fully expressed its meaning.
Surrendight is the union of surrender and fight.
To trust, one must surrender. Yet surrender itself often requires a fight, not against people or life's circumstances, but against the desire to control them.
Over time, I realized there was a third element that could not be ignored: struggle. It is through embracing struggle that surrender is tested, trust is strengthened and character is transformed.
By definition, Surrendight is the art of making three choices at once.
-
To surrender what you cannot control.
-
To fight for the one thing you will always have the power to choose: Truth and the decision to trust.
-
To embrace struggle, knowing it is not your enemy but the process through which wisdom, character and peace are formed.
These three pillars cannot be separated.
- Surrender without the willingness to fight becomes passive resignation.
- Fighting without surrender becomes control.
- Struggle without trust becomes suffering.
Surrendight is an art because it is a form of warfare without weapons. You are clothed only in the unwavering belief that your greatest strength is not found in controlling outcomes, but in embracing life's struggles and trusting Truth. When you choose Truth, you discover that you already possess everything you need.
As we become aware of and accept Truth, trust naturally follows. Trust gives birth to Vision, and Vision reveals solutions that once seemed impossible. Vision is revealed Truth that is personal to you.
Focusing on problems, expectations or desired outcomes limits what is possible. Releasing those expectations and trusting Truth opens the door to possibilities that control could never create.
Surrendight is more than a choice, it is a way of living.
Embrace the struggle, because it is transforming you into the person capable of receiving what you could never obtain through control alone.
