The Power of Surrender: Allowing a Greater Intelligence to Guide Your Life | Kute Blackson
Inspirational speaker and author Kute Blackson lays the blueprint for learning how to surrender to life and in turn manifest your true purpose. He shares the power of surrender and how our childhood conditioning causes us to be divorced from our intuition and trust with life. He explains the different stages of surrender: from questioning, to accepting, to grieving; and provides actionable steps for going through this process yourself. Through the lens of his own personal experience, he shares the times that surrendering the vision he had for his career opened him up to something far greater than he could have ever imagined. With this in mind, he provides a clear lens on how to trust life's intelligence, face the facts when things aren't working out, and maintain a state of faith within the world's great tragedies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
5 stages of surrender:
Avoidance
In this stage you’re living by your childhood conditioning, stuck in limitation without realizing that you are.
Questioning
Eventually the avoidance of your true self creates pain in your life: disease, loss, life challenges, or unhappiness. This leads you to question your reality and wonder if there’s something you’re missing.
Acceptance
After questioning, you identify the problem. Maybe you’re in a job or relationship that isn’t working out anymore. Before you can surrender and take aligned action, you must fully acknowledge the reality of how something is.
Grieving
After acceptance comes this phase, which many people miss. In order to truly surrender you must first grieve the sadness that comes up with acceptance. Every surrender is a death of sorts and you must give yourself permission to feel the pain of that.
Surrender
The final stage, surrender is the moment where you let go of control and open yourself up to the greater intelligence of life. It doesn’t mean that you stop working towards your goals, it just means that you do so without such a tight grip on them. You’re able to manifest quicker and more ease-fully when from this place of surrendered action.
