Sometimes, no matter how much we want something, we won't get it. It doesn't seem to matter that we spend time doing things we love in order to raise our vibrations, it sometimes doesn't matter that we believe with all of our hearts that everything will be ok. Sometimes it's not. Why, then? What more can we do? The answer, although I know it's easier said than done, is to just surrender. If you're at the point when you start to feel frustrated, then surrender. And by surrendering, I mean doing it truly. It's more than just to say, "It's in your hands now, God". No, it takes more than that.
By truly surrendering, you must not only surrender your desires, but your ego. It's ok to be a little vain sometimes, I've mentioned it before in my other articles, but sometimes our ego becomes so large and we don't even realize it. Our ego may be trapped inside of us subconsciously without our even knowing. So in order to truly manifest, sometimes we have to realize that our ego is too big and we must let it go. If you have done every thing possible to manifest something or someone, and have seen no evidence that it is working, then you can do nothing else but surrender. But like I said, it is easier said than done.
So how do you "let go" of your ego? How do you surrender it to the Universe? First things first, I want you to think of the worse case scenario should you NOT get what you are trying to manifest. Think of the worse thing that would happen if you don't get your way. Does it fill you with dread and fear? Sadness? But guess what, that "worse case scenario" hasn't happened yet, has it? No matter what you are experiencing now, it could always be worse. Remember that. No matter how badly off you are right now, there is someone else out there experiencing an even worse scenario. So how can you avoid something even worse happening to you? If you have been fighting and fighting and still see no signs of winning, then what's stopping you from surrendering? Your ego won't let you? Well obviously you need another tactic since whatever you're doing now isn't winning you your prize. Are you going to keep on fighting a battle that you can't seem to win, or are you going to surrender and let the Higher Powers of the Universe take care of it?
One very important path to take in surrendering, is to offer your help to others in similar situations as you. You don't have to necessarily help them with money, but offer kind words, prayer, support, love, etc... to them. You could even offer to help them clean. Something that may seem simple and trivial to you may mean a lot to them. Spend your time with them offering your help. When you do this, you are letting your own ego go long enough to put others before yourself. Sometimes when I struggle, I write articles like this that may (or may not) inspire people. I simply write and put my articles out there for free to share. I also visit online support groups and forums and offer advice and prayer to others in similar situations to me. I offer no personal opinions to anyone unless I am asked. Remember the "worst case scenario" I talked about? I have met people who are experiencing worse than I. I pray for them most of all. You can do it as well. Offer all the time and support you can to others. If their struggles start to remind you of your own, push it aside. Do not pass personal judgement on to them, or you will be letting your ego out.
After time, you will find yourself worried less about your own problems. By helping others, you will also be getting rid of any stored bad karma you may have. You will also start to feel more grateful the things you do have. Your wants and desires will become less important to you, you will just be happy when those you have helped are learning how to heal. You yourself will find yourself healing as well. You may not even realize it at first. By helping others, you are helping yourself. It doesn't always have to be other people, you can help animals as well. If you find an insect in your house, don't kill it. Remember that all life is sacred and that this world belongs to all creatures, not just you. Let go of that ego.
Once you start praying for others more than yourself, it is proof to the God and the Universe that you're letting go of your ego and that you are truly surrendering. And then, before you know it, life will be a lot better for you than it once was. The changes may come subtle, but if you have truly surrendered, they will come. Someday looking back, you may even wonder why you were so frustrated in the first place.
