for your soul's evolution if you really get that you stop seeing life as uh this happened and that happened and resisting it you move to a deeper dimension of asking yourself then you're able to surrender in the experience not necessarily to the situation but in the experience to go huh what is my soul seeking to learn in this experience right now that's the surrender
What is my soul seeking to learn from this messed up relationship? What is my soul seeking to learn from being fired? What is my soul seeking to learn in this situation? The surrender isn't just like, I'm going to sit here in this situation and be a victim and just do nothing. It's like, what is my soul seeking to learn so I can learn the lesson? And I'm going to surrender rather than resisting.
I'm going to really surrender to learning the lesson where I am. Because when you learn the lesson where you are with who you're with, that's the key that unlocks the lock to the next level of experience. So surrender is that.
Between acceptance and surrender, there is a missing face. And here is a secret to surrender that most people miss. Most people never crack open to surrender because they miss the face in the middle. The face in the middle is grieving. Most people miss the face of grieving because you see, surrender is a death. It's a death of your ego. It's a death of who you thought you were.
It's a death of like, A phase of your life like, wow, I'm no longer 20, I'm 30, I'm 40, I'm 50. Wow, it's a death of that phase of one's youth to a different phase of one's life. It's a death of a dream, a death of a job, right? A death of maybe as a parent, like your kid becomes 18, 20, moves on. It's a death of a role. It's a death of something.
And so to truly move on into, I'm going to embrace the new. willing to grieve for the old. And most of us never truly let ourselves grieve and we want to move on and surrender. And that's why we can't open our hearts to surrender because we're not truly letting go and grieving and honoring what was. True grieving and honoring what was allows you to fully release and let go.
The challenges in our culture, we tend to avoid grief. We tend to avoid feelings like that. We tend to avoid that because we're afraid it will last forever. We're afraid it will never end. But the thing I would just want people to know is all feelings are temporary. No feeling lasts forever. All feelings that we feel fully with awareness will begin to dissolve.
And grief happens in stages and in layers. And if we can feel the grief, then we can let those layers go. And I think one of the key things is around grieving. If you're able to take that label off of the grief or any feeling, take the label off, don't even call it grief, and just experience the sensation of that feeling in your body. This is like how to grieve or how to feel.
Experience the sensation in your body. Wow, it's warm, it's hot, it's tight.
If you really be with the sensation of the grief in your body and allow yourself to just be with that without getting rid of it, without forcing it away, without suppressing it, without judging it, and you be with it fully as a sensation, because many times we think that we're feeling a feeling, but we're thinking about the feeling.
So the feeling never dissolves because we're busy thinking and analyzing. But when we can feel the sensation, then the cycle of energy of that sensation of feeling begins to dissolve. And that's how we begin as we're with it. Like, wow. Then we let go. So anyway, those are some thoughts.
Yeah, you know, I was sitting there brainstorming, strategizing in my, I'm not going to say overachiever-ness too, I can relate to you, but in my desire to like write this massive bestseller and have an impact and, you know, number one, New York, what have you. And I was looking, okay, what are the best-selling books out there? Okay, you know, The Magical Art of Tidying Up, right?
We've all heard of that. Condo, Merrily Condo, Condo Everything. Then I was like, okay, The Salt and Lard of Not Giving a F, right? Oh, that book. And so I was checking out all these books and I thought, oh, wow. Let me come up with something really clever. And I was strategizing with my mind and my brain and, you know, brought my editor in. We were brainstorming.
wrote literally hundreds of ideas on the whiteboard, all very intelligent, all very clever, all very sexy. Books I thought would sell, books I thought would be best, books I thought my audience would want, books I thought that would grab people's attention and be bestsellers. And to be honest, when I looked at the list on this whiteboard, none of them felt authentic.
None of them felt like they might make great books one day and I might do them, but none of them felt aligned. They, none of them felt like, yes. And the only word that stood out on this whiteboard that when I looked at it, I felt this, it's an energy. I felt this pull. So I invite people to feel how it feels in your body. Feel where you feel pulled.
Because that deeper pull is what we get to surrender to. Because often we feel that intuition or that deeper pull. That deeper pull often is arising not from your mind or your logic or your conditioning, but from the unconditioned dimension itself. of your true being. It's your soul speaking to you. You know, like Mandela's soul was speaking to him. Gandhi's soul, like the soul is infinite.
The mind is limited in condition. So I imagine if I wrote a book, it would have been okay, but not like how it is for the surrender book. And so I felt this pull and I felt this pull and it honestly, it just felt It felt true. It felt true. And that's when I felt the feeling of, oh, shit, that's the book. It's about surrender. And everything I had at first, I resisted.
I was like, no, I don't want to write a book about surrender because, you know, who wants to surrender? And after my own ego kind of threw a bit of a tantrum, honestly. took a deep breath and I just had to acknowledge the truth. And the truth is none of those books feel right. That's the book that feels true. And in that moment, it was like a download, an epiphany happened.
I started seeing the book. I started understanding how my entire childhood, my entire life, had prepared me to write this book and deliver this somewhat complex topic for the new generation, I felt on fire with it. And it wasn't for money. It was just like, this is the book that I was born to write. And everything came together.
And I also saw that in a flashback in that moment, that the seed of the book was planted a few years ago, that I wasn't even paying attention. And how that was was, In 2016, my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer and she was the closest person to me on the planet. She was the reason I knew unconditional love in my lifetime. I mean, she was my everything.
