Open to Another Perspective…

Each time I expand my consciousness to see another perspective, I experience a level of fragility and vulnerability.   When you are fixed in your mind that your beliefs are true and exact, you build for yourself a solid foundation.  While the fixed belief provides a level of security, the belief may not be true or helpful.   

It takes courage to let go of a firm belief and embrace another perspective.  I maneuver through the process smoother when I surrender and admit that I may be wrong in my thought process and ask for inner guidance.  It is worth the turbulence to expand the mind to embrace other perspectives that may serve you better.  In my opinion, it is the only way to further develop yourself.  Had I held on tight to my Christian beliefs, I probably would have experienced another burn out and returned to a life of depression.  By continuing to honor the surrender agreement, I live a life of freedom.  Free from incessant worry and fear.
