Surrender is a positive, healthy state. Being a surrendered person does not mean one is beaten down and so hopeless he or she has "given up." It's quite the contrary. Surrender is a state of living in the flow, trusting what is, and being open to serendipity and surprises.

No matter how well-meaning your intention, doing too much is not always an act of love but of sabotage.

I don't care how intelligent or attractive someone is, if he zaps your energy, he isn't for you. True chemistry is more than intellectual compatibility. Beyond surfaces, you must be intuitively at ease.

I crave the sweet surrender of sleep and my dreams' uncensored communication: no tiresome small talk, sucking up to impress, or tiptoeing around charged topics. Dreams are the naked truth; get ready for it.

Being a control freak makes us tense, stressed out, and unpleasant to be with.

Surrender is a state of living in the flow, trusting what is, and being open to serendipity and surprises.

When you feel stuck in reverse, take a breath and let go.
