Are you asking, “What should I do?”

Posted at 8:44 am under Career & Money,Spirituality & God

I “stumbled” across this video on Facebook and even though it is 10 minutes long I decided to watch it because the topic of surrender has come up a lot in my life as of late.  You see, a few months back I decided to close my private coaching practice.  I haven’t talked about it much because it hurts.  But, when I was watching this video I felt something within me start to move, to shift, to awaken.

“God can dream a bigger dream for me…
for you…then you can ever dream for yourself.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

In the months that followed my decision I’ve been searching for what’s next and I’ve made a lot of surprising progress.  I’ve also learned that it feels different when I am trying to control my future versus discover it.

“When you have done all that you can do
and there’s nothing left for you to do…give it up.
Give it up to that thing that is greater than yourself
and let it then become a part of the flow.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

I’ve also learned that when I’m not trusting in the magic and grace of the Universe that there is always something to stress over, to doubt, and to fear.  I’m tired of being in that controlling space.  It’s small.  Restrictive.  I can’t breathe.  My soul can’t breathe.

“The wanting of it and the surrendering of it
taught me how to live in the space of letting go.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

So today I let go.  I recognize the power in the wanting of it and the power in surrendering of it.  I can still want it and let it go at the same time.  I can allow myself to be in the space of trusting God and making choices for myself.

“What should I do? Should I do this?
The bigger question is…
What would you, God the Universe, have me do?”
~ Oprah Winfrey

And so today I stand, with Oprah at my back, and  I ask, “God what would you have me do?” and I open my heart to receive the answers that are on their way to me…that are here now.

Is there something in your life you’ve been holding onto?  Do you feel the weight of it?  Are you ready to surrender?

    Someone once told me that you can visualize/affirm/vision board everything you want, BUT, you have to let go of the final outcome. Every treatment I do, every affirmation, every “ideal scenario” I write finishes with “This, or SOMETHING BETTER is coming to me now”.  Your something better is on its way to you. xoxox

    There is a balance of looking square in the eye of what you want while simultaneously looking through it.  Thank you for reminding me, Jillian, and for lifting me up.  *hug*

    Thanks Arlene!  Today I wish you the peace and serenity of surrender knowing that all you desire is on its way to you now.  And so it is.
