How to surrender AND commit to your dreams!
Manage episode 509445707 series 2774296
In this week’s episode, we dig into the paradox at the heart of the spiritual path: how to surrender to life’s unfolding while still staying fiercely committed to your dreams.
This conversation was sparked by a listener question that felt so alive for both of us right now:
"Hello universe. I keep circling around the same dilemma. How do I balance surrender with my own will and desires? I have clear dreams for my life and business, and I feel called to pursue them, but how do I know when I'm gripping too tightly in control versus when I'm actually being asked to stay committed and persevered despite the obstacles? Sometimes devotion and discipline feel like the opposite of surrender. How do I weave them together? Signed God, take the wheel, but not my dreams."
We get real about:
- The subtle difference between devotion and self-abandonment
- Why “should” is almost always a red flag that you’re forcing
- Learning to trust life moment by moment (even when things fall apart)
- How attachment to a specific outcome often masks the deeper desire underneath
- Finding the wisdom inside the “gripping” without bypassing or bulldozing over it
Along the way, you’ll hear stories about our own messy edges with business, health, parenting, and money—and how the practice of surrender meets the daily reality of deadlines, big goals, and longing for stability.
✨ If you’ve ever wondered how to trust life without losing sight of your dreams, this episode is for you.
