your daily rock : surrender

April 3, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.” -Eckhart Tolle

This is a great question: “What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is?”

And yet we do, we do.

Today, pay attention to moments of inner resistance, and surrender to them. Let what is, be.

Love,

Wow. Yes. Reminds me of so many of my favorites, from Campbell to Kornfield, about how being wedded to what was supposed to be robs us of what is. What truth.
