WHAT'S UP WITH THAT DIVINE TIMELINE?

DO WE HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES?

The other day I was chatting with one of my students, someone who struggles with her out of control “control issue.” Even though she recognizes when she’s doing it, she can’t seem to control her need to control others.

My out-of-control smile leaked out.

I couldn’t control my need to remind her that control issues are universal and they show up differently for each of us. Whether subtle, sneaky or brazen, we are all inflicted with that ‘dis-ease’ to some degree.

Even if we won’t admit it. Especially if we won’t admit it. 

Then she shared an exciting breakthrough about her ongoing need to control her boyfriend. “I woke up one morning and out of the blue I decided to ‘surrender;’ to just allow him to be who he is.”

This was huge and I applauded her!

That convo started me thinking about the vast differences between letting go, giving up and surrendering.

IMH, letting go is often a futile attempt to prove how wise you are by announcing to let-go-and-let-God/Universe/spirit. Don’t know about you but stating that cliché never worked for me.

Giving up is from feeling utterly hopeless and doomed to misery. It’s usually accompanied by loud, victim-y sighing.

Surrendering is neither of those.

SO, WHAT IS SURRENDERING?

Surrender is about ceasing your resistance in full trust.

It’s not by faking it or thinking you ‘should.’

Surrender is reaching the point where you absolutely know you are okay with or without this. It’s trusting that if it happens or never happens you will eventually understand why… no matter how long it takes.

Imagine being on the top of a mountain looking down at yourself hiking a challenging, twisty path. On one turn, you’re suddenly blocked by a huge boulder that prevents you from taking that next curve. Your top of the mountain vantage point allows you to see that this blockage saved you from meeting a lion head-on.

Problem is, we rarely have that top of the mountain vantage point.

So we struggle, try to push the boulder off the path, attempt to climb over it, all to no avail. Ah, if we could only shift our view, it would all make sense.  

Surrender is trusting that the boulder is there for a reason. That eventually you will know how Perfect surrendering was, in ways you have no clue about. Even if it doesn’t make sense in the moment, you trust what will unfold.

And you trust that the relentless struggle was trying to tell you something.

SURRENDER IS NOT EASY… UNTIL IT IS.

It’s stepping out of your comfort zone and trusting the Bigger Picture at play. Sometimes it takes a while (lifetimes) to see and understand that Bigger Picture, but it always appears.

It’s like seeing the first episode of a series of films and not understanding the plot until episode four. Or five. Or ten.

Surrender is difficult when you are stuck in your ego dictating “shoulds.” But the more you surrender to what your Higher Consciousness is intending, the more magic and miracles manifest.

And life flows a heck-of-a-lot easier.

THAT PESKY DIVINE TIMELINE

Which leads me to talk about what I call the “Divine Timeline.”

Every time I talk about it, my students grimace (some use the “F-word!”).

I get it. Been there, done that, frequently.

You try to do something, accomplish something, change something, be something, and no matter how hard you try, do all the right things, diligently do inner work, it seems like nothing happens.

However, looking backward, it all makes sense.

Like that guy I desperately wanted to marry only to discover years later that it would’ve been disastrous. Or that out-of-state I desperately wanted to make that would have stopped my Perfect Life Awakening program.

I could go on and on.

Divine Timeline has your back. It prevents you from doing certain things or making certain changes because it sees the Bigger Picture of your life. It sees what you are here to do. It understands what you are here to clean up. It makes sure the “right” people arrive in your life before you do something. It knows the perfect timing on all your choices.

And, it knows why certain things Should. Just. Not. Happen. Now or ever.

You chose your current lifetime knowing all that, knowing what you are here to accomplish, when and how. You brought certain issues to address, karma to balance, people to be in your cast of characters.

And, you chose it for your evolution from fear to love.

The Divine Timeline is constantly trying to align everything in your life so that things CAN or happen. It leads you into a relationship you never would’ve chosen who ends up being your perfect partner. It pushes you into a career you never would’ve thought you could do, only to discover your greatest denied skill. It eliminates certain people who you are done learning from so you can move on to others with more lessons to present.

My own life has been an ongoing research project learning to trust (and honor) the Divine Timeline.  I've undergone huge personal transitions that never made logical sense but led me toward my Highest Good and my soul's truth. Everything that happened was completely different from what my human perspective thought was best. 

But it all makes ab-soul-ute sense now.

STAYING ALIGNED

The road to those outcomes isn’t always smooth; trusting in Divine Timing is not always easy to say the least. As a human, those hardships, losses, and roadblocks on the path to something Bigger can create tension, fear, and uncertainty. 

But after enough experiences, it gets easier to lean into trust, release your judgment about what you’re experiencing, and hold on tightly to what you want to create. Eventually, the external circumstances become meaningless and don’t impact you, or hamper what you’re trying to do.

In fact, you might feel even more certain that the path you are on is the Right one.

Most importantly, you trust the process. You see it as a mirror to go deeper to discover more about yourself, your limiting beliefs, your fears and hidden denial. 

You ask yourself probing questions, especially: Do I not feel deserving of this?

In the struggle, remember to stay aligned with your Higher Consciousness. Recognize that those feelings of doubt and confusion are often signs that you have disconnected in some way.

Perhaps you ignored an inner, intuitive knowing. Maybe you chalked off signs and synchronicities as “coincidences” or “accidents.” Did validations slip by without you grabbing them?

Tell the truth: What is your real intention? What are you really trying to attain? Are you trying to impress your friends? Your parents? Trying to get attention or approval? Revenge? Told you so? Aiming for a false sense of security? Attempting to prove you are smart, talented, capable and lovable?

If your motives are coming from ego or fear (often they are), what you’re working toward can stay stuck in the muck. Especially if you know better.

By changing your intention from fear to love, things can shift. When your intention is from selflessness, , assisting others in some way, the universe offers boundless support. When striving for peace, love and joy for others, the details often fall into place at the exact Perfect time.

True surrender is a piece of cake when you trust that your soul is leading you.   

Remind yourself that when it looks like nothing is going to change, that is often when something is just about ready to happen.

Surrender. 

It’s all Perfect.
