I am learning to live between effort and surrender.
I do my best and hope for what I want,
but I embrace the possibilities of the future
with an open mind and an open heart.

Through the art of surrender,
I move from outer turmoil to inner peace.
By letting go of outcomes and expectations,
I transform a painful experience into a positive,
fruitful endeavor.

When fear gets the best of me, I surrender to the Universe.
When I release my resistance to the Universe,
I am able to make space for -and receive- all the
things that want to flow into my life for my highest good.
