I have a suggestion for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would happen if you knew for a fact that it\u2019s absolutely impossible to do life wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might be less far-fetched than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You already know there is no such thing as control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know how little all the hard work sometimes brings you, or how amazing things happen without doing anything to earn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know how much just happens in spite of you and your plans, outside of you, in the world, in your mind, with your body, everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite your attempts to do stuff and change stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the desired results, and the hopes and dreams you hang on to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if it was possible to deliberately surrender to whatever happens, completely, to just jump in and go with whatever is presented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if it was clear, 100%, that everything is done for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this might come across as helpless, but that\u2019s not what this is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helplessness is a creation of a mind that wants to conquer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s when perceived control and power seem to be absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s when the made-up story doesn\u2019t develop the way it is supposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if all is included in the game, even the idea of free will, of growth, of getting from a to b, of working hard and making a change, of both failing AND winning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if everything would exactly be the way it looks right now, but without the pressure, burden, and anxiety of personal responsibility?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if it really, REALLY isn\u2019t up to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
