Deliver, trust, accept and thank!

I remember that, once, leafing through a copy of the magazine “Bons Fluidos”, I came across a text with the title “I deliver, I trust, I accept and thank you” and a photo of Professor Hermógenes (great writer and promoter of Hatha Yoga in Spain) .

I don't remember exactly the facts related there, but I remember a brief story he told saying that when he was little he was drowning in the sea and the lifeguard, when trying to save him, said: “I'll save you, but don't try to help me, or we'll both die. Give in and relax and we're going to get out of here.”

At the end of this situation, when he was already on dry land, Hermógenes reflected on this conversation he had with the lifeguard and came up with these four words: Deliver, trust, accept and thank.

Since the day I read this article, I have never forgotten those words. In many moments of tension or worry, I refer to them and calm down. It's no use resisting the natural flow of life.

Like a river, it flows without stopping, showing us every day a new challenge, a new lesson or a new reward.

Everyone is living what they can and should experience. Each one within its level of evolution and development.

Resisting will always hurt more, so we must simply surrender and trust, because everything has a cause, an explanation and a lesson to be learned.

If we resist and try to control, at some point this lesson will have to be taught again and we are going to run into this issue once again.

And really, if you think about it a little bit, look back at some difficulty you had in your life and think about how it was resolved.

What attitude did you take? Resisted or trusted?

And now, looking from the outside, what was more worth having as an attitude?

Giving in and trusting takes away any tension that some problem generates in us. And even more so, acceptance, which offers us peace, calm and understanding, even generating a desire to give thanks. And getting to that point is really rewarding and worth it.
