The Gifts Of Surrender!
by M. Deskins ( published in Sunday Times of India - Mar 16, 2008 )
Sometimes, no matter how much we want something, we won't get it. It does not seem to matter that we spend time doing things we love in order to raise our vibrations, it sometimes does not matter that we believe with all of our hearts that everything will be ok. Sometimes they do not. Why, then? What more can we do? The answer, although I know it's easier said than done, is to just surrender. If you are at the point when you start to feel frustrated, then surrender. And by surrendering, I mean doing it truly. It's more than just to say, "It's in your hands now, God". No, it takes more than that.
By truly surrendering, you must not only surrender your desires, but your ego. It's ok to be a little vain sometimes, I have mentioned it before in my other articles, but sometimes our ego becomes so large and we do not even realize it. Our ego may be trapped inside of us subconsciously without our even knowing. So in order to truly manifest, sometimes we have to realize that our ego is too big and we must let it go.
If you have done everything possible to manifest something or someone, and have seen no evidence that it is working, then you can do nothing else but surrender. But like I said, it is easier said than done.
So how do you "let go" of your ego? How do you surrender it to Universe? First things first, I want you to think of the worse case scenario should you NOT get what you are trying to manifest. Think of the worse thing that would happen if you do not get your way. Does it fill you with dread and fear? Sadness? But guess what, that "worse case scenario" has not happened yet, has it? No matter what you are experiencing now, it could always be worse. Remember that. No matter how badly off you are right now, there is someone else out there experiencing an even worse scenario. So how can you avoid something even worse happening to you? If you have been fighting and fighting and still see no signs of winning, then what's stopping you from surrendering? Your ego won't let you? Well obviously you need another tactic since whatever you are doing is not winning you your prize. Are you going to keep on fighting a battle that you can't seem to win, or are you going to surrender and let the Higher Powers of the Universe take care of it?
One very important path to take in surrendering, is to offer your help to others in similar situations as you. You don't have to necessarily help them with money, but offer kind words, prayer, support, love, etc.. to them. Something that may seem simple and trivial to you may mean a lot to them. When you do this, you are letting your own ego go long enough to put others before yourself. Sometimes when I struggle, I write articles like this that may( or may not ) inspire people. I simple write and put my articles out there for free to share. I also visit online support groups and forums and offer advice and prayers to others in similar situations to me. I offer no personal opinions to anyone unless I am asked. Remember the "worst case scenario" I talked about? I have met people who are experiencing worse than I. I pray for them most of all. You can do it as well. Offer all the time and support you can to others. If their struggles start to remind you of your own, push it aside. Do not pass personal judgment on to them, or you will be letting your ego out.
After time, you will find yourself worried less about your own problems. By helping others, you will also be getting rid of any stored bad karma you may have. You will also start to feel more grateful the things you do have. Your wants wand desires will become less important to you, you will just be happy when those you have helped are learning how to heal. You yourself will find yourself healing as well. You may not even realize it at first. By helping others, you are helping yourself. It doesn't always have to be other people, you can help animals as well. If you find an insect in your house, don't kill it. Remember that all life is sacred and that this world belongs to all creatures, not just you. Once you start praying for others more than yourself, it is proof to the God and the Universe that you are letting go of your ego and that you are truly surrendering.
