At times, we need to be in charge and be decisive. At other times, and just as often, we need to ride it out and surrender. Life is a series of lessons on discerning which strategy to employ at any particular time, for any particular dilemma. Our culture favors being in charge, of course. And this works for about half the time, and especially in the ascendant part of adulthood.
Then, there is the other half. For that half there are lessons like humility, patience and waiting to see what emerges, allowing the energy and the solutions to emerge.
What dilemma or crossroads are you thinking about? Is this a take-charge moment, or a time of surrender?
