Day 155
Affirmation:
I do not fight and struggle to achieve, I allow Creation to flow into and through me easily.
I take only positive, fulfilling action toward the realization of my dreams and desires.
I surrender my dreams and desires to the Universe.
I trust the Powers of the Universe to guide me.
When I remain an open and allowing vessel, I am able to receive opportunities and experiences that lead to the fulfillment of my dreams and desires.

I whined, “But I’ve been working so hard at this; it’s been such a struggle, and nothing has worked!” That last word sounded more like, w-w-w-w-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrked.” It was one of those days. And I wasn’t struggling because it wasn’t working; it wasn’t working because I was struggling. Despite everything we’ve ever been told, it is not the force, the struggle, or the push that gets us to the end of that rainbow. It’s the surrender. How many times have you crawled and clawed your way toward something only to get there when you quit fighting for it. Women who’ve become pregnant after years of infertility know what I mean. Look back on your life and consider that the best things that ever happened to you- jobs, homes, relationships- came as if on the wind. That doesn’t mean without any effort, but they probably arrived without having to struggle or suffer for them, as if the Universe had it all planned out ahead of time and was just waiting for the right time, the right opening. That opening is called surrender. Surrendering creates a place of receptivity. It disarms the fighter, struggling to make something happen, and opens the experiencer to allowing the unfolding of it. Life is not meant to be forced, it is meant to flow. It is not meant to be resisted, it is meant to be allowed. There’s an old tune that sings, “They soar through the air with the greatest of ease, those daring young men on the flying trapeze.” If you’ve ever watched a trapeze artist you know that they do soar with ease, they have to. They have to move fluidly and flexibly. If they were to be stiff, rigid, or struggling, they would fall. They have to surrender to the swing and the momentum, becoming part of the flow. We are living our own trapeze acts, flying through life and experience, and we too, do best when we soar with the ease that comes from surrendering to the process.

...with the greatest of ease...
