SURRENDER ...SURRENDER... SURRENDER.... Over the last couple weeks, circumstances have been pounding against me as I mentally dug my heels in and vowed, “I refuse to surrender to anything external trying to draw me into hurting myself or others.”
And what a battle that has been. It seemed the harder I tried to react in love, the more trying and frustrating my surroundings became. I'd start to get caught up: mentally beating myself up or reacting but then catch myself and say “Bless this” and “Praises for allowing me to experience what this is like!” The harder I felt the push externally, the more I tried to give and be resolute and ask for help in letting only blessings leave my mouth.
And although our strength comes from the ability to refrain from surrendering to our surroundings, surrender is exactly what we need: surrender to our souls. I swear an angel of great strength has been following me with the thickest frying pan available in heaven. I may have the dents in my head to prove it. LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!
It does make a lovely rhythm. I love percussion. I digress.

Words are spirit – living things brought into the physical – malleable, flexible, and they can be shifted, arranged and thrown about in many different ways.

Ten: Grand Finale:
I had a major realization as I found myself surrounded by some chaos, drama and unpleasantries... Those things and people are not my life. My life is my experience...my thoughts...my loves...my passions, my dreams, my promises...my song. Which means my life is my choice.
We always have a choice. As our lives are our own and we always have a choice, that means our lives are our responsibilities. What we allow into our lives are our responsibilities. Sometimes, others do something that have an effect on our lives we wouldn't choose, but it's our responsibility to handle it in a manner that will solve the 'problem' rather than blow it out of proportion. Sometimes, that's a really tough pill to swallow.
I hope you realize this week that it is true that “great power comes with great responsibility”, but with responsibility also comes a great freedom you may never have expected.
So, take responsibility for your joy, and get out there and claim your freedom!!!
Dream well, dream deep and may all paths lead you back to the heart.
Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dream,
Divinity Hanael Rose
