Opening to the One

Surrender. Release. Opening.

Things seem to be accelerating, foot on the gas, all systems go.

Tonight at my class, I spoke of commitment. Not doing anything half-assed, or even 90%, but going all the way. Committing to each breath, each step, each word, each action.

How often do we do this? How often do I do this? In the space of 100%, there is no room for whining or complaining. No room for maybes. Do or don't. Pretty simple and clear.

One action I've continued to take is doing regular exercise, at least five days a week. Through this commitment, changes are happening. Not just in my body, but in many areas of my life. A sense of solidity, strength, and groundedness. More power. More clarity. More in control of my emotions and reactions, rather than being ruled by them. More confidence.

I'm noticing many ways where I've held back, gotten caught up in the drama and details, as opposed to simply focusing on what I want and going for it. Ironically, it's taking less effort than ever. Rather than "do" or force, all I need to do is open and surrender to what I want, trusting that there is enough as long as I am open to receiving it.

Now, why don't they teach that in school?
