I agree that surrender and acceptance are important.
For me personally, I was starting up a new business. I thought I had done everything right between dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s, had wrote out my intentions was focusing on what I want (LOA), was visualizing how this business would be etc.
All of a sudden by business partner wanted to pull out. This was devastating to me.
My initial reaction was to freak out – but, I quickly pulled back and got back into my space. I realized everything happens for a reason so when I internalized over this, I came to the realization that I could actually do it on my own. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise. I came to terms with it momentarily – I say momentarily because a few days later my business partner wanted back in again.
Had I forced it I doubt it would have happened. So staying focused on what I wanted rather than on what was happening, brought the desired result.
On the other hand one of my daily mantras is “I’m the luckiest person on earth”, so that might have had something to do with it as well
