Surrender, Self-Esteem, Change, Duality

Why to you continue to resist change? Don’t you know that change is the manifestation of growth? Without change there can be no growth and without growth there can be no progress in life. Therefore one who wants to grow will continually embrace change. What prevents people from changing is fear, and fear is based upon the perception of dualities in life. When you see things as black and white, good and bad, male and female, then you tend to judge things as either positive and negative. Thus you fear the possible negative in your life. However, when you are able to see that duality is simply perceptions based upon your beliefs and you realize that duality is the basis for the choices that lead to growth, then you will move beyond the fear. Once the fear is gone then you are free to make the choices that will lead you to growth, even though those choices may at times be challenging and painful. However, the more you surrender to the will of God who wants you to grow and move completely into your own spiritual mission on the planet then the faster you will grow. It is easy to think that you will lose your identity when you surrender to God. Just the opposite is really true. Instead of lowering your self-esteem, surrender actually enhances your self-esteem because you are discovering who you truly are and why you are actually alive at this time. Thus, the process of surrender becomes a joyous celebration that enables you to overcome all dualities and challenges of life and experience a world that is changing into a place of higher consciousness that is moving beyond the perceived dualities we currently perceive.
