In this episode I share a realisation about the power of choice and feeling resistance to an essential part of a new job I started.

We have the ability choose. When we say YES to something, we have to remember that we’re saying yes to all of it - the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’. Or, in the words of the Buddha, what the mind perceives as being pleasant and unpleasant.

I talk about the mind having a tendency towards pleasure and avoidance of pain and how being aware of my resistance allowed me to see that when I say no, I limit opportunities.

I speak about acceptance and surrender and how I'm venturing on my own surrender experiment (inspired by Michael Singer’s book The Surrender Experiment).

I am choosing to say yes to life, seeing what doors and further opportunities present by getting my mind out of the way and letting life flow with less resistance.

Unexpected opportunities and growth can emerge from trusting the process, letting go of control, being in the flow of life and saying yes.
