Why Calm Surrender?
Many times we struggle against aspects of life that are beyond our control. There is chaos in our everyday living. We experience loneliness, contempt, negativity, anger, frustrations, and disappointments. No amount of tears, or anger, or sulking can stop us from experiencing it.
Calm surrender doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on life. Nor it is about being apathetic, lazy, or not caring. Instead, it’s about acceptance that life is not perfect. We don’t need to panic or to fret whenever we cannot do anything about a certain situation.
Everyone wants happiness, tranquility, abundance, love, and respect but we cannot expect that we will have all of these despite of our effort and perseverance. We have our limitations, we are not perfect either. I don’t mean that I will not make changes or encourage improvements — because that’s not who I am. I will still do whatever I think will make me a better person and I will not compromise my principles and beliefs. But I will accept the fact that my expectations will not always be met and I should be calm accepting it.
Gratitude Journal: A kiss from my husband this morning really made my day complete. Thank you God for giving me a loving husband.

Life is really mysterious and just like time, it waits for no one. It is only us who will make time and life worthy as days pass by. The choice and the will to be happy or sad is in our hands all the time.
So I say, Live Ur Life! That is the way I see everyone should do with time time and life.
