There is a book by Arnie Cole called Unstuck (Your Life. God's Design. Real Change.) and I think you may benefit from it. Pack it in your travel bag and read on your way to India. It won't disappoint. <br /><br />Also, maybe "surrender" meant surrender your life to God. Give it all to him. He has way better plans that we could ever imagine!!!!

I agree with Melanie, sometimes we over analyze things to death...like my obsession with to do lists...I have had a recurring dream since I was little. That I was going on a trip and I had to pack everything I needed. Sometimes it is as silly as a dream about where the tweezers are, just in case, and I am in a panic of forgetting something. I don't know where I am going, but I sure as hell want to be prepared when I get there. Truth is, inside us we already have everything we will ever need for whatever life throws at us, won't it feel wonderful to let go of all that other stuff and just live? As much as I believe that, I have the hardest time letting go. This post resonates. You rock. xoJenny @ Hank + Hunthttp://www.hankandhunt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-79935614017431739312012-06-29T18:51:51.897-07:002012-06-29T18:51:51.897-07:00I'm speechless right now.

A few weeks ago, I was meditating and was told during it that I didn't have to pretend to be anything because I'm already everything. And I just cried. In a way, that was what I needed to know to surrender. I'm still working on it though.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814989061078872030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-69365074920912687262012-06-29T17:49:17.158-07:002012-06-29T17:49:17.158-07:00I've been doing so much reading lately on lett...I've been doing so much reading lately on letting go. Mainly, how to do it. I read books so I can figure out how to let go like a champion, like it's a competition. (That makes me pathetic.)<br /><br />Thanks for this. I needed it.

I've been feeling stuck lately, like I'm meant to do something bigger but am not sure what that is. I've been waiting for inspiration or that one big idea to hit me, but maybe that isn't what I should be doing... Anyway, lots of food for thought.

And obviously others. The ruminating and thinking and analyzing and fretting - so much energy and time that could be spent doing and living and just showing up.

"just relax, let go of perfection, don't worry about controlling the final outcome, don't worry about the outcome at all, don't worry about the opinions of others - good or bad, stop looking for the answers "out there," listen to yourself, have fun, do what you love."<br /><br />It's taken five years, so far, for me. I imagine in another ten, I'll be able to articulate it as well as you. Cheers to finally letting go! I call that freedom.The SunnysideUphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796627045548278777noreply@blogger.com
