Sometimes, we cannot tell whether something is beneficial long-term. So, we let time and the flow of events decide for us. There is nothing to prove. We submit to the divine process – not another and not our own ego. It is true humility and makes us invulnerable to domination by any other human. Fear cannot capture us, criticism cannot harm us, and pride cannot make us fall.

The ego is always looking for support because, essentially, it is very afraid and is constantly failing to give us the happiness it promises. It doesn't know what it is doing. It has delusions of grandeur that unfailingly disappoint. It is a poor guide and companion compared to the spirit, albeit, a loud one. There is a beautiful grandeur in us. If we claim it, we would never again turn to the trifling and pathetic attempts of the ego at grandiosity.

SURRENDERI surrender all to you.I surrender my life to you.I will do whatever you want.I will go wherever you want.I will love whoever you ask me to love.I will give up all my stupid opinions.I will give up all my hopeless cravings.I release my broken dreams.I forfeit my planned futures.I am at your mercy.I will think no thought or proceed with any actionwhich does not come from youbecause You love me.

Healing has a chance in our lives when we have exhausted all our other options.

The child in us remains. It lives in our weaknesses. It lives in our trust. It lives in our desire to hold another’s hand. It lives in our devotion to something more than ourselves.
