Air travel forces you to surrender control to delays and weather. The speaker argues that extending this surrender mindset to work, relationships, and finances reduces frustration and opens you to trusting how things unfold naturally.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for Friday, January 7th, 2022. The first Friday, isn't that right, Mako? The first Friday of 2022. How is everyone doing? I just got back from Memphis last night. Quick trip there, doing an event. I had to do multiple airport trips and connections and all that. And in the past, I've talked about it before, how once you get into that airport experience, it really is the zone of surrender. The ZOS, the Zone of Surrender, because you just can't control anything once you're inside the airport. You can't control your flights, the weather, delays, cancellations, connections, the exorbitant prices for things in the airport, all of it. And then once you're on that plane, you have to surrender even more. And how when we find ourselves in that experience, when we surrender to it, It means we're not fighting against it. It's like we fight against things when we actually feel like we have a little bit of control, and so we fight against it. And sometimes, like, we can make certain things happen by challenging things, but the more irritated you get and the more you try to control that situation, the more frustrating it's going to become. And so it's like I almost notice like this mental shift once I get into flying that I'm kind of like, all right, I just have to surrender. I just have to surrender to how everything is going to unfold. And so then I start looking for sort of that divine unfoldment in everything, not because I'm trying to make it happen, but I'm trusting that divine unfoldment is happening. So travel is that zone of surrender. So what if— Your moment of yes for today is what if we could expand Our zone of surrender outside of the airport into our homes, into our work, into our relationships, into our careers, into our finances, into everything. If we can expand the zone of surrender to incorporate and encapsulate most of the things in our life where we're not constantly fighting against it, worrying about it, where we are surrendering to it, And then looking for the divine unfoldment. Yeah, I know that sounds good to me. That feels like that's what I need. So hopefully that's what you need as well. Let's bring that zone of surrender to more areas of our life today and this weekend. All right guys, have an awesome weekend. I'll see you on Monday.
