Today's thought is:
Today I will surrender to that which I cannot control. Surrender
does not mean giving up when I need to be persistent; it means
letting go of that which I can't change. Surrender doesn't mean I
stop trying; it means I try, and then I surrender to the outcome.
If I need to find a place to live, I can look in the paper, on the
Internet, in rental or real estate publications; I can ask friends
or drive around and look. I can fill out applications, make a good
impression, and follow up with phone calls. I can think positively
by getting ready to move, asking friends to help, fixing up the
place that I'm leaving or imagining where I will put my furniture in
a new place. But I will surrender to the outcome by not calling the
landlord or real estate agentagain and again. I will not repeatedly
drive by the place where I hope to live or stop my search when I
find a place I like.
I will do my part and then surrender to the rest. I can believe and
trust that whatever happens is for the best. What I think I want for
myself and what I may try to force may not ultimately be in my best
interest. I will let go of constantly thinking about and analyzing
the situation, and I will surrender to whatever happens, no matter
how long it takes.
