‘Surrender Is The Unsung Hero’

T’S FUNNY HOW THE SIMPLEST
things in life seem to be the hardest to
understand. It seems as humans we have this
natural tendency to want to push, to fight,
to struggle, to make things more difficult
than they really are. being brought up with a belief system generated by parents
that constantly said 'you need to work hard for what you
want' and life isn’t easy” it’s not surprising I used to think
‘struggling’ was a way of proving how much I was willing to
‘fight’ for what I wanted. Almost in a way proving I how
much I wanted it.

tions in our head, supporting them every day with negative
language and allowing our thoughts to generate disempow-
ering beliefs, instead of just accepting and believing, life is

Understanding that pushing against the natural flow of life
is counter-effective has been an incredibly valuable lesson
for me in creating my business helping soulpurposed female

love and make money.
We’ve all heard the sayings “focus on what you have, don't
focus on what you don't have” or “focus on what you want,
don’t focus on what you don’t want’ which makes perfect
sense when you hear them, but actually I think the way to
do it is often misinterpreted which is what causes the
disparity.
Focusing on what we want can often inadvertently involve
resistance. Unknowingly we can get caught up in the strug-
gle of trying to figure out how to get what we want!
