The Law of Attraction and Surrender
In the spring of 2006 during one of our many philosophical conversations, he talked about one secret of the Law of Attraction - surrender. For me, surrender had such negative connotations that I just could not get pass the word. My beliefs, those foundational thought processes, became an obstacle to understanding the counsel of this wise gentleman.
After 6 months of grappling with this concept and knowing that this mentor and friend would not intentionally provide me with false information, I began to explore my own beliefs around the word surrender. To assist me in this journey, I returned to my dear friend Webster who has shown me through the origins of words how to change my beliefs.
Surrender is comprised of 2 words both of Old French in origin and means to up (sur) and render (rendre). Surrender means to render up. Modern translations have taken the word to mean to give up, to abandon, to yield or resign. However, these translations are not the original meaning of the word.
Once I understood that surrender was all about "rendering up," the wise words of my friend made total sense.
Essentially, if you are doing what you need to go to get to where you need to go, there comes a time that you must "render up" your efforts to a higher being. By keeping all that inside of you and not rendering it up, you are broadcasting all of the anxiety and negative emotions that go hand in hand with your efforts.
For example, you consistently plan your work and work your plan. You have several outstanding pending sales. Instead of rendering these thoughts up, you continue to think about them even though you know there is nothing else you can do. These thoughts are being broadcast 24/7 and actually push people and incoming opportunities away. This is the Law of Attraction in reverse.
However, when you let go and render up, you remove that obstacle preventing the Law of Attraction from happening. Suddenly, other new opportunities find their way to you and life is good.
One of my core beliefs is that "You receive what you believe." This is the essence of the Law of Attraction. However, this belief is embedded in another belief that you are not alone in the universe and there exists a higher being who truly desires that you receive what you believe. By rendering up my actions and outcomes, I acknowledge that being and know in my heart that "I will receive what I believe."
