Wish you had more certainty or control right now? Yeah, I thought so.

As a former Harvard trained attorney, when I first dared to pursue writing as a career and “create the work I loved” I desperately wanted control. I wanted to know how to succeed. But wild success, the kind inspired by genius, does not arise from formulas. The infallible life is a spiritual one.

Your inspired life is no ordinary path. It’s not about obeying the assumptions of the known world.

But how do you open up to something new? How do you surrender to help, direction, and timing that don’t go according to your plan? Especially if you’re a fabulous control freak or when fear has you trembling?

Here’s what you need to know about the practicality of spiritual surrender and believe me this can change everything in your life right now. 

Surrender is a tool, a way to invite a wild light or higher love into your experience. It’s the premier strategy of asking for help from the universe. Basically, it is giving up your insistence that you know what needs to occur and when. For those of us who are driven and ambitious, this is like learning a new software system. It may feel counterintuitive, and yet, we are upleveling from manual to automatic.
