Surrender, Trust, Acceptance

Hey, folks, how are you today? My name is Nick the poet, and I want to talk to you about trust, surrender, and acceptance. So these seem to me like kind of interchangeable terms, trust, surrender, and acceptance. And they all seem to be saying that we need to trust the process. We need to surrender the process, and we need to accept the process. Now, what the process is, is whatever's happening in life, whatever's going on that day. And I think if we can start from that place of acceptance, then we can build upon that.

But if we reject what's happening, if we deny what's happening, then we can't face it and grow with it, right? And so, oftentimes when we're working on this process, whatever it is, different fears will come up. A great acronym for fear is to face everything and recover. And so instead of running, you know, which I love to do, the flight or fight response, literally, like, to just run, go for a run. That helps me. That could be a healthy, you know, coping mechanism. But sometimes you really need to sit with and lean into our fears and trust and accept and surrender.

So what is a fear in your life right now? What is a situation that you need to accept? What is the process that you need to go through? And in my experience, this is a moment by moment thing. Like, we can make that choice to really trust the universe, but then we need to keep backing that up, you know, through actions. And I think actions are a good place to begin because I can't really think my way into, you know, a better life. I mean, I can. I. It's confusing to me sometimes. I can in a way, but it seems like if I take that action, then that helps my thoughts and then that improves, you know, my situations, my process, and allows me to trust, accept, and surrender in the moment.

So that's my message for you today. I hope you're having an awesome one, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
